[HECnet] DECUS stuff on hecnet?

Johnny,
    I do use SIGTAPES.SUM to browse through the contents of the tapes with an editor, but when using GREP or similar key word search the name of the tape is only at the top of pages and it is sometimes difficult to figure out which tape it is on. Searching the .txt files shows which file the match is in but is slower. I always that some sort of database with the file names and key words would be helpful, but the free text search works ok. Being able to quickly mount the virtual disk is the real time saver.

Best Regards,
Mark
