What tool did you use to get the ODP data. I have been looking at a couple to make an industry specific directory for my site. The ones I have found are old. I took a look at that catagory in the odp and the products listed where old and the site examples were dead links.

ya I had the same problems... so I just ended up writing my own little VB application to extract the data... took forever though, I gotta rework the code to handle the UTF-8 encoding better.

The one that i was messing about with a while back is called digital windmill... I never installed it on the web, just ran it from my pc (personal web server) it seams to work pretty well :)
