I'm not sure what you mean here, Cal.  I could send out a list of what's
available each month.  Is that what you mean by "publish a version"?

Yes, text (ASCII) files on film/TV studies topics are very welcome
and it is just a matter of getting me that text file via e-mail or
even via floppy in snail mail (though e-mail is much better for me).
 
What I'm more interested in these days, though, is putting such materials
on SCREENsite, the World Wide Web site I'm constructing.  In fact, there's
gotta be some way to combine SCREEN-L FILELIST with SCREENsite so that
a text file resides in one place, but is accessible by the other.
 
Any suggestions?  SCREEN-L FILELIST lives on a VM machine
(an IBM mainframe) while SCREENsite is being built on a Windows NT
computer--which causes certain compatibility problems...
 
In any event, if you've got any sort of materials along the lines of
what Cal's suggested, let me know about them.  As long as we've got the
space on UA1VM and I've got the time to transfer the files over,
we'll continue to solicit material.
