What's that in MegaBytes? If they are fairly solid printing of text, that might give 40 lines/page averaging 50 characters/line = 2KB/page. That's 2MB per 1000 pages. So the "large reports" are 20-40MB. That's more than one wants to have on one web page, but not out of line for a report that one intentionally downloads. If the reports are divided into many sections, then the sections might fit, one per web page. >Then, we have our "large" reports, ranging from 200,000 to >600,000 pages. Yep, we do print them. But they have very little >content on them. They compress very well. I'm not going to guess the MB size of these - but "very little content" translates into not-huge files, even if not compressed. If the searching does a good job of identifying the target files, then accessing them via the web might be reasonable. --henry schaffer > ... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
