Hi,

You are describing a file set that making it available in a really useful 
way is at the heart of the problem I have.

I have a database program (Paradox) that is up the task, examples of 
websites generated automatically by it and lots of the other parts of a 
solution that would work.

But I am not up to the task even though Paradox got it's name being a 
powerful database that is easy to use, I am near the end of my programming.

I know of one lady that could do it all while drinking her morning coffee. I 
downloaded some of her code and was astounded how powerful it was, but so 
far over my head.

One thing that we all should keep in mind is having any of our files 
existing in only one place is not what we want today.

~ 140 GB has been lost because I was too slow to ask for it, some other I 
think is being hoarded by one person, and some we want is being barred from 
being released.

Dec. 19984 Rainbow on Disk, does anyone have this?

SHF
