well, it always starts the easy way and complicates later. All I wanted
to say is - that any such stuff without support for indexing, updating
databases, sharing/locking, is not practically of much use. And once you
decide to reimplement CA-Clipper of FoxPro in Rebol not even having
open/skip working, let me know, it will be at least interesting to
watch :-)
Just kidding - not trying to distract from any such activity ...
