RobC wrote that, not me. But i'm not sure how to describe it then, since 
what you have is a string of text (names, grades, etc), and the functions that 
strtok provides is a way to handle each token (the name, the grade, the etc) 
as an Euphoric-like atom (the token) of the database, instead of a sequence 
of characters of real Euphoric atoms. Same way a sentence is a database of 
a thought, with the tokens in it having meaning, like your database, with 
each of it's tokens haveing meaning for you. Eu natively provides some 
functions, like s[x..y] where s is already parsed, but not even a tenth of what 
the strtok lib provides.

If you have a way i can get RobC to alter the description, and what that 
description should be, i am all ears. He can't reasonably put the readme.* 
from my webpage there.
