This is the sort of thing that TidBITS 2.0 will be good for because it
will be able to import text files, map them out, (hopefully) index on
several different keys, and provide a clean reading/archiving
environment. The current version of the TidBITS stack is too simple
(intentionally, I may add) to handle huge amounts of information
easily.
