Concerning band width, how about this - making available on a regular basis,
say each month, a file of differences between the new simibm.idx and the previous simibm.idx.  simibm.arc already has a simdif program.  Add a merge program,
that given a simibm.idx and the output files of simdif, could build a new 
simibm.idx.  

This would save considerable bandwith since each month's changes are but a 
small fraction of the total index.
