Alain Pastor of PixMix compiles the list Q&A into an base with a search
engine, for which he has also created a Sherlock plugIn.

The base can be consulted at:
<http://www.pixmix.com/futurebasic/"
and I believe the Sherlock thingy can be downloaded from there.

Associate.com, who maintain this list, do archive the postings on their
site. You can do searches from there, no plugIns available.


There are/have been other archives of this site. But Alain's is most
recommended
