A much more complete effort is the "The Online LIF Disk Project" which contains every HP-71 file that I've ever had access to: http://holyjoe.net/HP71/Online-LIF-Disk-Project.zip (20MB zipfile containing over 3000 files).

I rarely play with the '71B any more (life is short and toybox is full), so other folks here are the best source of information about which files are the "essential" ones. Happy Programming!

Ah, I saw the reference to the PIL-Box and assumed it was newer. I'll be sure to check out the updated collection. Thanks!

Bring a chair... the OLDP is enormous, over 9000 (!) files. Though there are plenty of dupes, and some of them are for 41 or 75 or Portable Plus, and some are documents (thankfully), etc. the vast majority are 71 LEX files.
