Nah. It's a piece of cake. 34 lines of PERL, import the table into Access and use a query to sort it, export it back out to text, then 21 lines of QBasic to make the html file. Could've done it all in PERL, but didn't feel like learning arrays in PERL yet. The dam's in good shape. Trying to get all of the topsoil (several hundred yards) out of the lake but even though we haven't had enough rain to put it underwater yet, we've had enough to make it pretty wet and tough to work with. And though it's tedious and slow bringing it up a yard at a time with the backhoe, it's a lot cheaper than renting a dumptruck or just buying that much topsoil or fill.
