Do I cut and paste it...where? >do what with it? It's something for programmers -- C source code. If you are not a C programmer it won't be of much use to you. Some of the messages have funny characters in them that cause CCCDBNAV to croak. The program I pasted in (when compiled to form an executable image) is run against a concatenated file of CCC messages called ccc.db and it writes a filtered result to the console. The filtered result can be redirected to a file, which will be much more pleasing to CCCDBNAV than the raw text is. There is a tool to do something like that that comes with CCCDBNAV, but it leaves in a bunch of errors. If you download a huge pile of messages, some of them will still cause problems when you try to import them. As you can see, the database I use is fairly large: 12/03/99 08:26p 134,624,854 ccc.db 12/03/99 08:28p 278,184 ccc.ndx 01/15/99 12:17p 452,096 CCCDBNAV.EXE and would be substantially larger, if I were up to date. Without the filtering, it would not operate correctly on the data. Someone is working on an update, and I might put the whole shooting match on my ftp site when it is completed. It does take a long time to load and consume a lot of memory right now, so it might only be useful for large memory systems.
