   I hadn't checked about that awhile so I took a look & see that there is at
least the Oracle Database XE version available.  I've put it on my todo
list to see about getting ahold of that.  (I'd like to have it only so I
can test what I'm already doing...)

    Exactly!  Besides that I wanted to do some processing on the nodelist
information anyway, another reason I'm working with it is that it is 'real'
data I can put in to a db & play with...   (best way to learn
to do it...)
