Perhaps, instead of a separate file, Michael (remember, folks, he keeps cica
moving out of the foodness of his heart) could, when adding new titles to
the index, place a special character, (#, $, *, etc...) to each line with
that day's new upload.  A quick, dirty program could probably be written to
remove the previous day's marks before he updates it.
