No, I don't plan to delete them any time soon.  History is important to 
understand the future.  Wal is useless since it never worked, the 
journal was a good subsystem that people can still learn from.  Dudley, 
particularly the trigger language, is a good template on how to write a 
language processor, something that some stuck from maintaining the dog 
ISQL could learn from.

I almost always leave old colde around commented out wiht /*** and ***/ 
until I am absolutely certain that the replacement code not only works, 
but don't introduce new problems.
