There is a project in the works to translate the information into a usable format. You are correct in that this is a lot of info, more than 20,000 messages worth. It will take some doing, I will see about making the exsisting archives more accessible this weekend and will keep the forum informed when they get translated.

Thanks,

Scott,

I assumed you have been busy with converting the registry which is why I am thinking you did not see my email.

I think I stupidly deleted the email with the sample material on which I am to create a conversion tool.

My apologies... but could you resend? If you don't get an immediate reply from me post here. Hotmail has been delaying some emails recently.

Mike

Actually my brain told me I had resent it but looking at the e-mail I realized I hadn't, so it's on its way now. Thanks.

Fun to look at the 2001 Burma Spitfire threads!

And what ever happened to Indiana Tony? Anyone know? He dropped off of Facebook a few years back as well.
