That would be great. Are these AMC factory numbers, or replacement stuff?

Frank & Matt, does AMCyclopedia have mysql installed? wps.com does 
(amc-list.com) you could use that.

I have a cross-listing of all AMC brakes, mostly, and it's stalled at 
the "needs an interface" stage.

I'm a good perl programmer, the mysql stuff isn't a problem, but I hate, 
and am no good at, web apps. I may have to cobble up something so the 
brake work is accessible.

Are there no listers that can do web programming in perl for apache and 
mysql? Isn't that more common than carb rebuilds today?
