 RB>Thanks alot Chuck, I appreciate it.  However, I am not a
 RB>programmer, and am not sure what you are referencing when you talk
 RB>about a Library. This program that you called SOFTC, will that
 RB>create the Indexing or is this something else, and you have to
 RB>write the program for indexing all together ?


Richard,

   A library in the programming sense is a collection of
pre-compiled routines that have been collected together in one
place.  Sort of like going to the public library looking for a
book.  SOFTC is a shareware library for the C language that
allows interfacing with dBase.  I was volunteering to write the
program for you in case you weren't a programmer.


 RB>The D'Bridge program made reference to me just polling my messages,
 RB>if that were possible, then I could start now, but as far as other
 RB>systems calling in, that I would not be able to do right now...


   You could run a part-time system (I did until I got a second
phone line).  Your entry in the nodelist would reflect this.


 RB>P.S. - what is the number to your system, so that I can check
 RB>things out over there.... ?

   It's 918 834 7402 in Tulsa, OK.  :-)
