Tony, - BTW Is Noel still in the loop or are you in charge of the Spanky Fractal - Database? It's still Noel's site; all I was doing was mirroring it. - I was trying to access the Spanky Fractal Database via FTP as per the - webpage instructions, and it requested a username and password. Do I - need a password ? That might be something screwed up from the Great Crash a couple of months ago; lemme check. ...ok I found a couple of things I missed which might have made some of the indexes inaccessible, but I couldn't find any FTP links, which are the only things that might end up prompting you for a password. If you send me the page that has the link that's prompting you for the password, I can track it down more easily. All this data is supposed to be publicly available, so password-protected areas would be counter-productive. :) Damien M.
