The code doesn't seem to explain what it does very well but =20= it piqued my curiosity. What's this do and how is it intended to be used? I don't know exactly =20= what it wants for a database; I tried using /lib/words and it didn't =20 blow up but I'm not sure that's what it needs. I found the /search =20 file will accept strings like 'search=3Dword' but it doesn't seem to =20 have an effect in the filesystem, nor does reading from it produce =20 anything. Any pointers on how to use this? Or is it defunct or some kind of dead =20= end? Thanks, =97 Daniel Lyons
