Sure I will. I also owe Mark a correction list for the
Pocket Reference.

On extracting names:
I'm setting up a batch process which turns all the Framemaker
files into MIF files. Then I will run a Python script which
extracts every possible name, and checks it against my name
list. The name list is generated form my email archives which
have everything until Oct 1996, so I'm pretty sure I will
find everybody who mailed on some list, and I can use
the intersection with the extracted name candidates to amend
the index. :-)
