command line fan fiction program?

You're welcome. It's actually archive.org. The plural form is a different 
site. I've found that if in doubt, try IA first. Even if you don't find what 
you want, you're bound to find something interesting. I hadn't actually 
searched for fanfiction in years. It's nice having old archives. There is a 
way to browse the huge zip files and get only the items you want, but the 
syntax is escaping me at the moment. You never know what you'll find. The 
problem I have is the stories are only numbers, so without browsing each 
file, I have no idea what they're about. I'm referring to the downloads, not 
the fanfiction.net site itself. Sorry it took so long to find and answer 
your post.
