Maureen, many thanks for the links to the Indian Army lists. The same site can also be used for its other books etc. For example, by putting "Thackers" (without quotation marks) into the seach field, and then using the advanced feature to restrict results to those with "Thackers" in the title you can access and download all their Thacker's Directories in .pdf form. Previously, as you know, it was a laborious process of downloading page by page - after guessing which page you actually wanted! I downloaded the Army List for January 1890 - 355 MB; it took about 5 minutes with no problems whatsoever. The home page is http://dli.serc.iisc.ernet.in/ This is a great new resource.
