Is there a list of what these are?
Hello, I have already been down that slippery slope a couple of days ago. It was too early in the day, I was not alert and trying to speaker phone multi-task at the same time. Afraid I frustrated a few kind souls here.
The page for "Finding Aid" is below. Nearly 400 pages seems huge but it d/ls in only a minute or two. You must have this "finding aid" in order the utilize the massive archive efficiently.
Nafziger orders of battle collection : finding aid.

Then you select the *.zip you are interested in, say:
Napoleonics (1792-1815) (107.5 MB ZIP)
So far my system, such as it is, first get the "Finding Aid" open in a separate PDF reader window (or tab). Then type the year (e.g. 1807) into the "Find" window on your reader that will get you to the general area of the 1807 campaign. Select what you want, say 807BAF is the Prussian OB at Eylau.
Switch from the "Finding List" window to the open "Napoleonics (1792-1815)" window and use <ctr>-F "807BAF" and you will find it.
Be warned, depending on your system & printer configuration printing these PDFs can be very slow. Up to three or four minutes per page. There are ways to (try to) speed up the process. Google something like "PDF printing speed" as a starting point.
But, until you have a feel for how fast the printing process might be for you, do not simply try to print a file with dozens of pages, if you are unlucky you might be in for an hour or two of slow printing.
Perhaps someone here has suggestions or solutions for that problem. I haven't had time to pursue it too far yet.
Good luck…
