Bruce, I just loaded all the files you listed, did a huge download for
Dallas, and converted them into Plucker. Man! It flys.. I like the sorting
also. It might be an extra step but it is well worth it. I now feel like I
can spend more time caching and less time seeking the listing..
Thanks for sharing this!
