-> Way to go, to me Wcpro/Wcreports should be a least

-> It is such a important Tool for the BBS that 
-> without it, I do not want to even try to put up 
-> the BBS. I may have to add, CRC check, enter

I primarly use wcFILE utility to import descriptions and what not into
the File database.  I have not owned wcREPORTS/PRO since v4.20 and
haven't really seen the need for it except the nice reports it
generates.  There were a couple of neat features, like the message
utilities, etc...                                                       

I think that Hector will (hopefully) put some major thoughts into
wcREPORTS for WINS 2000.  It would be a great investment if it included
all the features from the v4 series as well as conference and file area
swapping, enhanced features as you discussed plus what ever else Hector
finds useful.  Only time will tell.

-> area gets to the size of a full CD i export a

-> Without it wcreports is useless for a BBS file 
-> utility.

That sounds like a good idea.   Too bad it doesn't work on message
databases.  Right now, my message database is pushing about 600MB right
now.  It would be nice to burn them to CD and move them off the HDD. :)

It's time for a cleaning anyways.  I am going to cut my messages back
to around 10k in the next week and start rebuilding the databases again.
