Glad you're having success. Did you find out what the difference between machines was, that caused the one to never work with a 'Ripper until v2.13?

It would be useful to have the 'Ripper "DB" (.dat) file as its raw xml instead of a binary version.

But I wonder if a saved .dat could be used like we used to manually alter input to Yansky's (I think) batch file, to get "expired" shows - like yesterday's WA news, for example.

There are several iView programs, mainly news factual, that have a residence time of a day, and sometimes appear for very much less than 24 hours.

I must try...
