I understand that he got it going initially for someone who wanted to run the HGI database. Subsequent to that, I don't know. Bear in mind that if you have something like that that doesn't work and you need it to, there are people around here who will quite happily accept reasonable contract rates to _make_ it work. Heck, in 5-6months, I hope to be in a position to make a living out of it.
