Hi Chris,

That sound just the job for maintaining it.

I would think that for methodically dividing up the task and for initially 
updating the database it would be easiest to work with a big 
machine-readable text file (and would sidestep the other issues for the time 
being), though maybe that's just my ludite tendencies emerging :-). Anyway, 
let me know if you'd like me to undertake that.

Best Regards,
Chris. B.
