I've redownloaded pgOrganizer and am trying to compile it. Thanks for the
info. I'm pretty sure I'm going to use pgOrganizer as a framework - you've
solved problems I'm just starting to recognize.
I don't miss finals - not at all. I think finals stress was work than ALL
the job stress I've accumulated after college. Good luck.

I've not done much work with XML. Why would querying against it be a
problem? Especially if I can keep the data in memory in some kind of data
structure that allows for 1 to 1 access.

Good point. I'm going to have to give this more thought.
Use XML for storage and then read it in, compress it and
chuck it (or parts of it) into memory. Hmmmmmmm.
Thanks for the info folks.
