I wasn't thrilled about installing mysql and figuring out how to use it but, meh, that's hardly worth complaining about given the size of today's disks and memory. Then I realized my limited knowledge of SQL is insufficient to understand the queries you wrote, much less write ones of my own :). I ended up deciding that it was easier for me to do the analyzing in a scripting language directly, instead of stepping out to SQL. The net result is I wrote some classes to parse the file and present a set of navigable objects. (The "website" I entered in the reply form links to the code.) So, even though I ended up not using your code, thanks for the inspiration!
