[Todd F. P. <tf...@nc...>]

like i said in previous msg, the original schema can be mimicked by
using views. what i'm doing is attempting to optimize the underlying db.
the genex XML, mage XML and links to the other tools *should* behave the
same when I get this right. i'm only affecting a small portion of the
schema that should be transparent in the long run. i'm not reinventing the
wheel, just implementing it in a unique manner.
