Both could be problematic - resulting in the same paper having two different numbers. Better to stick with only the new site after the current old-site papers are copied over.  If Dan could disable submissions on the old server that would prevent further mismatches.

As for dates, I tried to read these from the papers, but not all of them had dates in a regular format. One of my background tasks is to find papers without dates or titles and fill those in. None of the old papers have authors listed yet - another thing to come.

The one I noticed has the date in the ?normal? J3 format of  "dd month_in_ascii yyyy ?.  If that form is not in your pattern list, adding it would pick up a lot of cases.

I'll look into tar file creation for the "tarball" that Dan usually creates pre-meeting, but ZIP is pretty universal as well and while most tar readers can read ZIP, the reverse isn't necessarily true. No reason I can't do both there.

It?s hard to imagine drag and drop from a web page into a terminal window working.  Of even select from a web page.  Sounds like some Windows-specific thing.   The tar option is more work than the mget option, but seems workable.  Just make sure that the tar extract does not create a new directory, but rather adds the files to the current directory.

Just as long as we?re not asked to deal with a Windows system. 

Cheers,
Bill

I guess this raises a more immediate question - which site should be used for paper submissions for m215?  At least until they are synced, the new site paper upload should be blocked to avoid duplicate paper numbers.
