In case anyone is interested, I tried BBDB with Oemacs (an emacs-19
port to MS-DOS) and it worked without a hitch. My complements to the
authors of both. (Especially impressive was the fact BBDB files names
begin with "bbdb-" and yet are all distinct after eight characters,
the length of a DOS file name).
Now I have BBDB on both a PC and a Unix system, a situation I wanted.
Except, it would nice to be able to merge two BBDB databases to keep
them consistent. Perhaps some like running bbdb-refile-record on records
with equal keys (using comparison ala bbdb-create) and adding in other
records as new. Maybe something could be done directly with the .bbdb
files directly. Has anyone built such a feature, or have suggestions for
how to go about doing this? Thanks much,
