Cool! I've no idea what version I started using, but it was a couple months before Mike moved it to Sourceforge (in 2002, I think).

As another data point, we have a user with a 24,000+ item file. For BD to be usable with that file, I had to make some changes to searching (which should now be debugged, 6 months later...oops). The only unresolved problem for him is that performance is poor with more than a couple of smart groups, but most people are a long way from that file size. -- adam ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sponsored by: SourceForge.net Community Choice Awards: VOTE NOW!
