I was thinking the site was in Mambo.
Seeing as the repository is a series of HTML pages, this is what I would
suggest.
Find a web host to host Joomla. Install Joomla. Get a free template and
generate a web site. Jazz it up as needed (or not). How much is your
time worth? Get a Joomla add-on called HTMLtoArticles from Joomlashack
for around $49 and do the whole lot in 10 minutes, or do it by hand -
Create groups, create an article per HTML document, move the HTML
document into the article and save. Job done in a week or so.
Searchable by group, name or any-which-way.
Install a forum on the same site. Set up groups and subgroups as for
Pnews. Switch over.
What does it cost to host a Joomla site? $12 a month for 100GB
bandwidth? Not enough? How many Paradox users were there left, did you
say? Is it worth $150 a year? Or just download the HTML to your hard
disk directory. Then decide about the groups.
Endless discussions that get nowhere are pointless.
