Hi Don,

Can you point me to an example package that uses the current CR standards?

When I've tried learning to program with the CR pre-2002, I couldn't understand the documentation. I readily admit, it's too heady for me --as is the ad_forms API, which is why I wrote qf_* forms API.

Anyway, the systems I've managed have been plagued by corrupt data in the CR; and I've lacked the computing experience to fix it, so it makes sense to avoid it; Though I really like how XOWIKI seems to be using it.

Also, there's no audit mechanism to automate diagnosis or fixing of a broken CR.

In this particular case, I'm going to use standard package permissions and the tcl file API to generate a generic file handling utility.

cheers,

Torben
