    Do you mean it can be done? Cool!

    Did you try to read out to ROOT files?  If you did, how did that go?
    I'm curious 'cause I was coding blindly and knew it would work in
    principel, but not nessecarily in practise, so as you can quess, I'm
    kind of excited to hear if it worked.

    That would be a really good idea.  May I remind you of the tool
    mysqldumb that comes with MySQL.

    I think next week is good. Again, a 'heads up' would ofcourse be nice,
    and I gues you have every intention of doing that, so I'm just babling
    here :-)
    
    Well, if you do make a copy, people could in principel use that copy
    while you're working on the other one.

    Uh? I don't get what you're saying here. Please explain.
