I'm one of those weirdos who actually enjoys databases...I think most people find database work to be dry and boring, but I find it fascinating and stimulating. I've seen DTR applications used in production but have never had any exposure at all to the software...having something to actually *do* with it, like this node database for HECnet, is great stuff, and a great way to learn. I hope you've never used Microsoft Access. ;) No, I haven't. That requires Windows, and I've never used Windows. Sometimes I wish I had managed to avoid Windows like you did. ;) It's simple. Just don't use it. It's not like it's going to stroll into your life and install itself onto your computers. True. I mostly manage to use it very little. I've gotten to the point where I don't use windows post-NT 4 (the last version I really like). I'm trying to replace a friend's windows server with an AIX box. ;) Should be able to make progress once the null modem cable he ordered arrives. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA -- Cory Smelosky http://gewt.net/ Personal stuff http://gimme-sympathy.org Experiments
