Well, it's not a polished system of any sort, but i use xml-type tags in a file
scheme.
By using getxml(), i get indexed or tagged fields, and can insert such fields as
<forgettable> and <exec> and <timeout> and <aka> and <AnyThingElseiWant>. It
stored as a flat file, no sequence nesting, and you can have fields you never
look for,
or fields not present that you look for all the time, either way, you'd haveto
code in the
error yourself if those are errors, getxml() doesn't abort like find() or
match() or
compare() do. What i haven't done yet is that putxml().
