How many files?  Over 50,000 files
How big are the files?  web page files..html and cold fusion so they a
+re not big
How many changes?   ...about 20,000 changes
How often will the changes need to be made? ...just one time and the s
+cript takes 20 minutes to run
How reliable does the process need to be? ..very reliable

If the process gets interupted by system failure or other unforeseen e
+ventuality, do you need to know which files were
processed and which weren't? If some files were re-processed, would th
+is be benign repetition? ..files could be reprocessed and this will b
+e run during off hours
How fast does the process need to be? ...speed shouldnt be too slow bu
+t doesnt have to fast..main thing is what I have now does the job and
+ has SOME effiency
