Sadly, Ty S. beat you to this! He has already "HTML-ized" many/most
of the "Abrams Files" to create his web-accessible discographic site!

As well, there may yet come a day when I can use my copy of Visual
Basic 6 (on a HD I still own...?!) to create an application which could
digitally convert text-based data files (i.e. Abrams Files) to HTML
pages...!
