There are several Indexes but here we look at the dealer index
located at: /i/localdlr/xref/


example:

<LI>ABC Co. - Mr. Jones (US, Br Emp, BNA), <a href=../us/ca.htm#ABC>.us-CA</a>

this should be self explanatory so I better explain it.
The attemp is to list everyone with a commercial endeavor.


This was/is also the area where listings w/o sufficient data for inclusion
on a country web page are/were kept. This includes the concept of 'aging'
Either there was no address data on site or it was not checked OR (this is
the 'aging' part) ... OR I decided to let it sit in the index to see if it
would still be there is six months (in other words, was it a temporary 
promotional item or a 'fly by night'?..)

Now, the whole site grew so large I could not manage that then but now with 
the effort to data base the data (and the time available) it may be possible.  
We'll see, won't we.?

I wish to change this so their active data is/are divided by at least the 
country of origin or the domain of origin such as: .edu, .com, .org. ...etc.

They will still be listed in the index but w/o their website or e-mail or 
address data. (the 'active data' referenced above).  They would be treated 
as though on a country page.  they will have a page 'anchor' 
(<a name="ABC">&nbsp;</a>) and be listed alphabelically on this new page.

These new pages should be regarded as temporary resting areas until
sufficient data is had that will allow inclusion on the regular country 
(and/or topical?) page. No, not topical.  Here I will note that part of my 
thinking is if you want in here then I want to know more about you and be
able to share at least a mailing address, ph # etc. - And all this primarily 
for one of my real goals: to provide contact data for travelers on the go who
may happen to be in your area but how would they know unless you inform us?
Oh, some might e-mail you and make arrangements but are less likely to find
out about you when you are on crowded pages with so many others.  If you are
listed on a country page with a city name (at least) then a travelers choices
a lot easier to make on who to contact....

This, further, should be a clue that these listing should not be indexed and
cross referenced in topical indexes (unless paid?).  Someone who will put up
money is at least serious about something.....
