The first visible River app is viewable at http://www.lccdigital.com/tabl2frm

In '98 I opened a 40K DOC file and Word took a long time to get around to it.

This resulted in the very first River module, set last access time. Having reset all files I opened Word again and it needed to access 250Meg to display a 40K message. I am sure it is far worse by now.

WebLogs.zip is an application pack that lets you massage raw access logs into more user friendly information.

Available on the download page.

Old Riverines said I gotta have the directory navigation in so it is now in. It lets you do things like:
2 c: internet

and it will find all the subdirectories with "internet" in them and let you choose one to navigate to.
