Yes, but there really is no need for it. Right now this information  
could be posted online and integrated into the RunRev Doc window.  
Then *anyone* could post updates, hints, etc. By anyone I mean  
someone who has signed up and who is trusted. Newbies would have  
instant access to new info, etc. There would have to be rules and  
regs of course, but, lets get with 2007?????

Cheers and thanks a lot for your help
All the Best
