I would have to look on a few dvds here for the tbs files. Those are the older
Steven Thompson bases correct? If I have them, I can run your parser.

Well I have two servers that have a limit of 1.2tb of bandwidth/month each.
Right now I am not using even half of that on one of them. The other is
basically idle.

I can double the bandwidth on both servers for around $80/server. After a few
days I will check and see how much bandwidth it is using.

And someone was nice enough during the Christmas season to use the "Donate"
button on my Crafty website.. after 90 days with the button on my site, I got my
first $1 donation :)
