Jan and the list,
Just to let folks know the Wiki is private, behind a few firewalls and no
other person has write access except for me. So this is completely private
and is not accessible on the INternet. I have the capability of storing the
file in a Database if that makes life easier. Currently it is kept on my
legacy system in a flat ascii file.
