GM to you, too!

ummm... no raw material in view... everything is/was already done... it is a
matter if programatically cutting out the crap^H^H^H^Hunwanted trash...
figuring out how to strip the HTML code pr0n and then cleaning up the resulting
plain text and killing the unwanted schtuff is the bear... it is much easier to
just pull the original from NOAA and then try to find out where the trend
numbers are being pulled from... i've already spent some 30+ hours rooting
around all the solar related sites looking for the solar flux, k-index, and
a-index numbers but none of them appear to have what was being shown in the
past... and since the am-dx site says that the page is updated automatically
every minute or every 15 minutes (i forget which) they're pulling the numbers
from somewhere and that somewhere should be able to be found... apparently i'm
not digging my core holes in the proper places to find paydirt :(

 ml>> so half is better than none, right?

 HG> Right, so far I'll gather together the daily/hourly reports I receive
 HG> from you, into a file and let the users put the pieces together.

hunh?? and here i thought folks were just reading them on your system...
