Gah, we know; we keep going through that with the HBF.  Need to fix 
it permanently, even if we just have to simplify...

Right, which is good; just these little things when it's an annoyance.

Oh, I see.  Okay, good to know.

Yep, exactly; I have dial-up and it's agonizingly slow.  That's why 
I'd begun loading them as text files, so folks could read them 
without having to DL them.

Okay, good deal.  I've replaced the text files between 60000 and 
wherever I'd left off, 78000 or 79000, with zip files, and finished 
uploading all files I had as zips, which takes us to 107999.  So, the 
Archives are now:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPforGrownups-Archives/ -- 1 - 7815 
from the Club and 1 - 31999 from the current Yahgroup. 

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPforGrownups-Archives2/ -- 32000 - 
52999

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPforGrownups-Archives3/ -- 53000 - 
82999 

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPforGrownups-Archives4/ -- 83000 - 
107999 (so far)

Oh, you bet, my pleasure!

If anyone would like the files available as text files instead, just 
let me know.  I'd be glad to upload them that way.
