I believe that every night they update the directories of 1/30 of the machines they have listed, so the maximum lag would be about a month -- minimum, you take your chances. You could try searches on two or three different archie servers, if you really need a recent file. I wouldn't expect their searches to be synchronized. -- Ed Haymore ed@byu.edu
