My god. If pan did this intelligently, it would be the newsreader of
the gods. Decent navigation for reading normal threads and the best
binary browser ever.
The only trick with this is that alot of people name theirs
differently, and they include a bunch of "support" files with the main
files (.PAR, .SFV, .PXX, .REV) -- these would either need to be
bunched with the .RXX's in whole, or separately.
The ideal solution would know what a .REV and a .PXX are and when the
archive has a sufficient amount of parts/support files, mark it as a
complete grouping.

I am too - but isn't it so much fun?
