FTP suggestions
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Aeons ago Torsten suggested that the big Gladstone (and Disney) index
at the ftp site should be split up in several files, as it's a bit
uncomfortable to handle at the size it's in now.  (Takes too much time
to transfer the whole of it if you just want to look up a particular
book.)

I thought that was a good idea, but then I forgot everything about it.
Noone can accuse me of being fast, but now at last I've made such a
move, and divided the "gladstone-disney.index" file into "wdc.index",
"us.index", etc. in a new directory "gladstone-index".  (Well, really
the index is on Disney Comics comics as well, but I couldn't think of
a better name...)

Does anyone like one big file better?  I haven't deleted it yet.

Yes, Harry, when you mention it I recognize that we discussed that DTM
code before.  I think it an irritating hole in the Rosa index that we
don't know the code of this story.  Is there noone here who has this
book?  Surely Don has it, at least...

So whatabout that FLUX soap?  Did you get Mau Heymans to include it as
a reference to you, Harry?

I just want to add that it's already possible to do exactly that.
Send me a text on the money bin, Mickey stories from France, Phil
DeLara or whatever, and I'll put it on the ftp server.

And at last thanks to Wilmer Rivers for his post on Penny Wise.  It
all makes sense now!
