GIANT(!) TCML archive text file.
Original poster: Vardan <vardan01@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Hi,
I put all the TCML posts since mid 1999 into a single giant text
file. Every single post right up to a few days ago. It is a 185 Meg
pure text file. Notepad in Windows XP will open it given a few
minutes. You need lots of RAM and a fairly fast PC... I tried a few
word processors and they choked out... I am running 3GHz 1G RAM
with no paging file in XP. Windows Notepad (XP) seem to do the
best. Perhaps there is a program that searches giant text files out
there too. The little 400MHz lap top with like 150M of ram is trying
to load it With FireFox but it looks like it will take on hour if it
does not die first.
The "@"s have all been removed to foil spammers incase one gets hold of it.
Once the monster is loaded, one can easily search out text in
it. The first use of "OLTC" was on Sat, 20 Jul 2002 15:33:24
-0600. The first use od "DRSSTC" was on Date: Sun, 22 Dec 2002
18:02:28 -0700. Those searches took less then a second.
I put in on rapid share since they have 45 Gigabit/s 360 Terabytes
disk space. :O

Scroll down to the lower right where it says "Free" and click on it.
It makes you wait about 45 seconds then the download screen pops
up. Ignore any adds.
Type in the three funny letters used to fight off robots and hit download.
Select "save to disk" and "ok". RapidShare is pretty cool for
distributing this stuff. I assume they will mess it all up and
charge for it one it catches on...
Once downloaded, the file can be unzipped with WinZip. The file is
password protected and the password is "nikola".
It is a 44.1MB download and unzips to 185MB. I downloaded and
checked the file to be sure it is ok.
Probably not much use without a special search program. I have
fiddled with this one some and it is not too bad:

Not too good either :o)) But if you play with it, it does do some
cute things. Maybe some computer program text editor that can do
4,250,000 line (Microsoft) computer programs ;-))
Of course, you could just print it all out :O))
Cheers,
Terry
