I think that we should have an option in the config.inc file to allow them to
use mod_rewrite where it is available. mod-rewrite does an excellent job and
is so easy to set-up. Look at the .htaccess file in the distro. Otherwise,
probably a symlink would be quicker to set-up especially for large files that
are over say 20 Mbytes.

If we are going to move to class.DBI, which I think we probably should. Then
we need to finalise which files are going to do what and then port the SQL to
use class.DBI This is what I am thinking of as a structure:


1. Every page - has a call to header.inc at the top

2. header.inc - has a few functions that are used througout the site and a
call to vfs_auth.inc and db_wrapper.inc. It also loads the config.inc file and
sets up the configuration variables.

3. db_wrapper.inc - provides and sets up the generic database functionality
and loads either some_database.DBD or some_database_wrapper.inc


BTW Tony, have you setup your CVS access to the code? You should be able to
make changes using your s/f login id directly to the CVS
