Thanks so much for this list!!!

Now that we are producing 1,000 Etext per year, I'm not sure
if we will continue to try not to duplicate filenames, other
than in the same directories. . .I will have to think about it.

We will be celebrating our 30th Anniversary this Fourth of July,
and lots of things will have to change. . .trying to do 100 Etexts
per month is WAY to much for me to do the way I have posted 3500
of the first 3600+ etexts. . .so we will have to automate LOTS of
what I have been doing before. . .perhaps one of those things we
can automate is a search for previously used filenames. . . .


Thanks!

So nice to hear from you!
