Several services of this sort already exist.  The most useful
is probably the Computer Science Techreport index, at
http://cs.indiana.edu/cstr/search.  It indexes reports from several dozen
sources, including the neuroprose archive.  You search for title
keywords, authors, etc. and it returns URLs to the ftp sites.
You follow those, and voila', you got your report on screen (or on disk).

I would urge sites that maintain collections of ftp-able reports to
get in touch with Marc Van Heyningen (mvanheyn at cs.indiana.edu) to be
put on the list of sites queried by this index.
