That's great to look forward to.

BTW, I wonder whether you're familiar with Berkeley DB, an open source databas
e engine.  I've been playing with it in Linux, but it is available for
Windows as well. It can store and index just about any kind of data any way
you want.  Perhaps if you drew upon it for Synchronet, it would relieve you
of a lot of bother in coding for storage and retrieval of user base, file
base, maybe even message base data.  Sysops could probably even use it to put
their own databases of various types online for the use of callers.  It's not
a stand-alone DBMS by any means; it needs C or other programming around it,
but that makes it very versatile.  Just a thought for the future...
