List archive Aug04 experiment

[Mark Brownell]

So in the interest of mining the rev-list archive I have thrown 
together the last 800+ messages from this month and created two 
different versions of the same MTML file.

If you go to http://www.gizmotron.org/intuition/download.html you will 
see at the bottom links for the free Intuition Reader. (MacOSX and 
Windows only for now) Use this to:

If you use the free reader you can either surf to this file on the 
internet:
at: http://www.gizmotron.org/revolution/aug04RevList.txt and run it 
from there or you can download this file and unzip it and then open it:
http://www.gizmotron.org/revolution/testList.zip

Note: There are 800 plus pages so doing a keyWord search is not 
recommended without selecting the term subject first to be included 
during a search. This is a non indexed search process.

Example search for best results:

1) open file with Intuition Reader

2. Click "S" in the tool bar.
   a.) enter "linux" & select "or" from the radio button
   b.) click cancel

3. Click "T" from the tool bar
   a.) Click "subject"
   b.) select "use keywords" from the radio button option
   c.) Click "MT"

The process of using a search term "subject" in combination with a 
keyword allows for fastest results. Apparently a keyword search alone 
takes way too long to render the text. This extremely large file for 
this purpose shows me that I can work on speeding up Intuition when 
it's used as a list archive tool. Anyone wishing to mine the list 
archive and tag it with MTML as a resource project I would be 
interested in helping create an MTML version of the archive. I can't 
host this archive if once it is completed. I used BBEdit and Rev to 
transform the 1.2 MB archive document to an 800+ page MTML document 
with the subject tag set included. I then used Intuition to batch 
process the pages into the two files. see links above. <end of
