Ideally I would like to publish multiple pages instead of one really long page. On our sites, we have extracts of entire book chapters, which we store on a different server as pure HTML text files and include them into the display page in a frame. For our purposes, we don't do any searching on the extracts, so this works just fine (it also spreads the load over two servers).You need to ask whether you _really_ need full text searching of all article content, or whether an abstract would be sufficient. You can also consider creating a SQL server for the long articles (choose a database engine with full text searching) rather than trying to store that information in a WebCat database. I could even see creating a searchable database of keywords/phrases that would be WebCat based, but automatically derivable from the external long text files.A good goal is to have the fast stuff in WebCat and use that to find additional information from outside that doesn't need to be RAM fast.HTHJohn-- John Peacock Director of Information Research and Technology Rowman & Littlefield Publishing Group 4720 Boston Way Lanham, MD 20706 301-459-3366 x.5010 fax 301-429-5747 ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
