I do not have a place to put it up for download; I could, however try to
make a full text index (Using something even more portable then the full
text search back-end I was using on my Gopher server, a porter's
nightmere). I was reading a paper on the indexing system for refer (in a
nutshell bibTeX for troff). It can also be used as a general indexer.
The paper talks about (very impressive compared to using grep) an index
of 32,000,000 bytes (~32megabytes) (apparently, that was all the English
text they had on their system! Why do we need these big drives anyway!
:)). With all the software and binary stuff taken out, I think it should
(nearly) manageable. The index file shouldn't be nearly as big as the
whole archive, I could then make a front end to that (yay for sed and awk!).
