Thank you Michael.  MDC sounds interesting, and running it on Ciderpress 
means I could use a lot of my PC tools; especially 2.8 Gigahertz. 
Putting it into a database is JUST what I'd like to do.

Just one question... What is MDC?  I just called up Ciderpress and went 
through the menus and through the help section and couldn't find 
anything about it.
