Hello Mark and All,

  The answer is yes. I also keep a file system of it all. Its not organized
enough to give credit where
credit is due but it is saved and backed up.  I wish it could be shown all
on one page as a family tree
or massive flow chart of  trial and error.  From generator fuel to
lightning. I'm imagining a heavy
multivolume set of computer disks would work.  Maybe somebody could make a
web page of a list of folder
and sub folder headings to help the great coiling scavenger hunt.
