Archibald "Archy" McNally was a fictional character created by bestselling novelist Lawrence Sanders. He is the protagonist of thirteen novels, seven by Sanders and six by Vincent Lardo, who took over the series following Sanders' death in 1998.
Archy is a 37 year old bachelor who lives in Palm Beach, Florida. His family is reasonably wealthy, and he occupies a suite of rooms on the third floor of his parents house. He also works for his father. The elder McNally is a lawyer with a stable of insanely wealthy clients who often make unusual demands of him. Archy is the head (and sole employee) of the Department for Discreet Inquiries. He handles all those unusual requests, and generally solves problems. He also generally trips across a body or two in the process.

You don't have to put "on A-Drive" on all your posts. Your posts are excellent no matter where they are stored.

Sorry about that, I had previously posted the Archy McNally Series, the Rex Stout Series, and the Cat Who Series on megaupload. I was simply trying to distinguish these post from the past (and outdated) post. My next step is to find and remove the outdated post.
Both searches are now working. The site search is upper right corner all pages. It is good for recent stuff only. The group search is probably your best bet for finding them. It will only search in the one group you are in but it fins old and new stuff in the group you are searching. The only problem is that you have to do it for every group you search if you are not sure which one your post is in. On the right directly across from starting a discussion or post you will see "View All" if you select this your search window will be on the left top of the next screen that opens. Good hunting! ---------------------- R
