Most amazing part of IMDB is that it predates http, and obviously, wikipedia. It started as a series of text files on usenet sent between various movie buffs, each adding their own contributions. One of the IMDB contingents for sale to Amazon was keeping it quite autonomous, and open. The database is still being exported to the same formatting as when it was traded on usenet; which is why one still gets files specific for Amiga and OS/2. http://www.imdb.com/interfaces http://www.imdb.com/interfaces Kind regards
