Bill, how about googling like this:
site:<http://amcs-pubs.org>amcs-pubs.org Sótano
de las Golondrinas
You can even put a search bar on your site to do
this,
see <http://texascavers.com/>http://texascavers.com/ for
an example. You can have it automattically
select the site checkbox for searching the site
instead of the web. As long as google will
index the RTF files, it will work, that will
have to be researched.
If either of you have questions about this, let me know.

I suppose I ought to also invite people to
contribute material on Mexican caves to the
archives of the Association for Mexican Cave
Studies.
The catalogs of the AMCS "library" are on its
web site at
<http://www.amcs-pubs.org/library/contents.html>http://www.amcs-pubs.org/library/contents.html.
The library comprises series of periodicals
received in exchange and books large enough to
shelve. The archives consist of disks and paper
items that are being placed in storage cases or
file folders and cataloged slowly. A lot of the
things currently cataloged are related to the
preparation of AMCS publications (original
manuscripts, original maps, photographs, etc.),
but there are a lot of other miscellaneous
things such as articles from other publications
(originals or photocopies), printouts from web
sites, maps, etc. It includes three boxes of
material donated by James Reddell and one box
from William Russell.
So far, I have cataloged about 300 disks and
3000 paper items in the archives. As of now,
these catalogs consist of long RTF files. I'm
not sure what good it would do to put that on
the web, because people would only be able to
download the whole thing and search it with
whatever rudimentary "find" command is in their
word-processing program. It would be nice if
someone could come up with a way that a web user
could display only a list of the items meeting
some Google-like search criterion. The
extraction could be done either at the server or
in the user's browser. Anybody with ideas how
this can be done, please contact me. Meanwhile I
will think about putting the RTF files on the
AMCS web site for whatever that's worth.
Anyway, looks like I've got another couple
thousand items to sort out and catalog, and of
course the AMCS will be happy to keep any
additional material warm and dry and eventually
catalog it, too. And if anybody wants to help
dig up additional things for the archives, for
example by searching my library for Mexico
material that should be photocopied and filed,
welcome. -- Bill Mixon
