I am all for it!  I have called for others to get involved and have not gotten
their response.  I guess all it takes is one of them to step forth for others to
follow.

I think that what you propose here is a wonderful idea.  I could at least look
into querying the mail list archives - Who's approval do I need for this?  

Further more, fpgroups.com is set so that any one can place a link to their site,
post articles (even if it is a short intro and a link to their own site).  What
you propose be done is exactly what this whole thing is all about but it is being
taken totally out of context.

OK - I can live with that  8-)

If you do not mind answering, why are you leaving filePro and what are you 
replacing it with?
