I just began sysop-ing here a couple of months ago, and I don't know of such a file. But it sounds like a good idea – one to put on the "TO DO" list. Rich Bowers

Rich.. I used to spend alot of time on the Ashton-Tate (now Borland) Sig. In their main library and all other librarys the had a file called files.zip which was a zipped version of files.txt. The main library file was a text file in the form of Library #1 General File Name When downloaded Short description Library #2 dBaseII File Name When downloaded Short description etc., In each library was the same file but only containing that library's files. At the end of the main library files was a listing of this month's new uploads. At the end of the month they would be added to the regular listings as the files.zip would be updated. This really made things easier for us to decide what to download, though when I last looked they had so many files in the main listing that even that text file when zipped was about 300K! On my other subject..thanks for the info, I'll download speed.txt and take a look.
