The LogBook Master Index finally consolidates all of the actor/writer/director listings that previously graced assorted appendices to the LogBook episode guide files. The Actors' Master Index is gigantic, rapidly approaching 10,000 lines! Having completely failed to arrive at an efficient method of cross-referencing the various appendix files, I decided to have a stab at putting everything in one place. This necessitated virtually retyping everything. It's almost impossible to automate the string-search-and-replace process going by the last word of a title, only to discover that you've accidentally dated the first broadcasts of "An Unearthly Child," "Galaxy's Child" and "Friday's Child" in 1988, when you were simply trying to put that date stamp on "THE Child." And don't even bring "The Children of Auron" into this! Other wonderful things happen when you go looking for a factor, whether it be "The Armageddon Factor," "The Alternative Factor," "The Vengeance Factor," "The Icarus Factor"... Why go through the painstaking process of reformatting all of these appendix files? For one thing, there were all formatted differently from one another, and the way they were put together reflected that they had been compiled in very strange and weird ways. The British SF Index listed each character on a different line and indicated the year that the episode of the show in question appeared. The Trek LOGAPNDX file listed which generation of Trek the actor had appeared in, but jumbled all of his or her different characters - if they occurred in one show (such as Marc Alaimo as a Romulan and then a Cardassian on TNG) - into one entry. No premiere date. And Babylon 5's index was even more basic than that since they're not dealing with generations of anything! At last, the Master Index corrects these confusing variations on the same theme and brings you one list which presents the artist's sci-fi "resume" in chronological order and in an orderly fashion! This project is for the trivia mavens out there. Good hunting! - e ________________________________________________________________________________ Table of Contents ================= MIACTORS.TXT (327,689 bytes).....Master Index of Actors............2 Feb. 1995 MIWRITER.TXT ( 32,842 bytes).....Master Index of Writers...........2 Feb. 1995 MIDIRECT.TXT ( 18,711 bytes).....Master Index of Directors.........2 Feb. 1995 MICOMPOS.TXT ( 47,796 bytes).....Master Index of Composers.........2 Feb. 1995 MITITLES.TXT ( 52,752 bytes).....Master Index of Titles...........18 Oct. 1994 MITHEMES.TXT ( 34,004 bytes).....Master Index of Themes...........18 Oct. 1994 SOUNDTRX.TXT ( 30,307 bytes).....Available Soundtracks & Videos....2 Feb. 1995 BAB5BIOS.TXT ( 13,957 bytes).....Babylon 5 Cast/Crew Bios.........30 Jan. 1994 GREETING.TXT ( 9,819 bytes).....preface, news & updates...........2 Feb. 1995 ________________________________________________________________________________ THIS FILE IS FREEWARE; no registration fee will be charged.
