     That, how do they say, sucks.

     Well, the text file that has the data is about 230 megs or so if 
I remember right.  I don't need all of it, but the majority of it.  
All of the data needs to be hidden until a portion is retrieved by a 
particular location, which would be accessed using that location's  
password.  I have already explained that if they want "really really" 
secure data they're going to have to probably purchase stuff for 
that, so I'm looking at making it as secure as I can with what I 
have. As long as your average lab monkey can't hack it without the 
proper password and location ID that would probably suffice.

     I can create a FoxPro DB, but I think the media limitation would 
apply to it as well.
