I know the feeling also as I maintain the http://www.hp3000links.com website.
There are probably some dead links there even now.
I also am a volunteer but do try and keep the site as current as I can.

This is a handy tool, Ron but may I make a suggestion?

When the search results are returned, they consist of a headline,
a bit of text and a file name. The file name includes a day and month.
Could you include the year also as I searched on "OpenMPE" and found
a great headline "HP World action gave OpenMPE a turbocharge" only to
find it was from 2002. :o(

Just my $.02.

Cheers,

John Dunlop
