I'm programming a database to handle a catalog. I'm wondering how does one
set up the structure of a catalog database for optimum searching, etc.
I've tried to categorize each of the items, but it seems there would be lots
and lots of categories. Is this the way it has to be done? Anybody have any
ideas?
Also, on the EUPHORIA CGI program, how exactly does one get this working? If
it's in the docs, don't worry about it. Or maybe you could just post an
advanced tutorial... :)
Thanks in advance,

P.S. On the dir95 program, it apparently doesn't work in DOS-16 bit,
correct? So, how do I determine if a program is running on a 32-bit machine
or if it's running on a 16-bit machine (whatever DOS/Win3.1 is)? I was
thinking all I'd have to do is set a variable after checking, then have the
appropriate dir() called according to that variable.
global object OS
OS = check_OS()
path = dir3195(filepath)
function dir3195(filepath)
object x
if OS = Win3.1 then
x = dir(filepath)
else
x = dir95(filepath)
end if
return x
end function
Anyway, your help is appreciated.
