Meanwhile, I told my ABC bot about Henrik's .../abc/abcusers/
directory and about the above URL, and the number of ABC titles
listed for www.musicaviva.com nearly doubled. The reason that the
abcusers/ directory hadn't been scanned was that it was too far from
my starting URL. I've found that it's a good idea to limit the depth
of Web searches to 3 hops, to avoid trying to search the whole Web
for ABC. This isn't very productive; having other people spot new ABC
sites and tell me about them is far more practical. And the
oneill-1001-1-500.abc doesn't seem to be pointed to by an link, so it
would have never been found.
I've wondered about O'Neill's 1001 myself; it's nice to see someone
so masochistic as to take it on. But I wonder about putting it all in
one huge file. This will lead to a lot of slow downloads for people
just looking for a tune or three.
So when does the Svenska Laatar Project begin? (How many volumes of
that were there?)
