To which I respond:

Yes!, except that I felt like I had to throw a little technology at
it, so I did the LISTF to my screen, selected the text, copied it to
the clipboard, and pasted it into a spreadsheet.  After a few
interations of this (source files scattered around in different
groups/accounts), I had the complete list.  I deleted some of the
columns from the LISTF display, added a couple of formulas, and out
came the answer!
