Marielle,

This looks interesting. I tried your link, but my computer choked. I 
run on a 56K modem.

With the little bit I did get, there were a lot of duplicates. (This 
would be easy to filter out though.)

Is there some place that I can download the file without having to 
display it in the browser?
