 Subj: URABUN                        Status: PUBLIC MESSAGE

 I decided to tempt fate and download URABUN. After 389 K ( out of 493 ) 
 something hung up somewhere: a time out error. I should have trusted my 
 instincts. I looked through what I did pull down and of course none of 
 the files would compile. 

 Actually I may just use an index for the database that I'm making. It 
 is pretty small, less than 1,000 records. What I want to do is generate 
 reports which contain names that map onto multiple categories. There are
 80 categories and approximately 700 names. I suppose I could reserve 10 
 bytes match strings with a numerical index and OR entries to the 
 categories. Reports could be generated using a mask, for only one 
 category need be reported at any one time. 

 Any comments?

 regards j.
