[Coco] Anybody willing to put Delphi Msgs on the Web?

Hi,

This has been a stalled project for me for many years now.

I doubt  the interest is much higher than the zero point.

If I am wrong, I did do some preliminary thinking about how to do it.

I have the tools, Paradox for the database part.

I just built a new PC that is up to the task, (Brag on) 2 x (3.2 GHz cpu),
64 bit instruction set , 2 Gig main memory and 640 G RAID 0 Hard drive
space, 4 HD used, 4 more HDs could be added (Brag off).

I did some work years ago with the messages on Delphi and learned that the
tools I had were not powerful enough.

Thus the purchase of Paradox, but I did not revive the project.

Some of the files with interesting years totally missing are one drawback,
the presentation method another.

Too many of the CoCo'ers do not have the ability to access whatever format I
thought about.

Different formats are no problem as AWK will allow adjusting for
differences, AWK reformatted files would be the data base input.
