Great paper!

Unless your partner purged your account, they stay good indefinitely.

Chuck is correct.  There is still a FN, but the Software Advisor is
considered the best/most current tool.  It does reverse lookup as was
described.  My problem with it is that you can't specify how much flash/ram
you have to work with.  It often only lists images that are too big.  So you
have to start coming up with older image names on your own, then plug them
in for reverse lookup, and see what happens.  Maybe I'll submit a
suggestion...
