I agree that the engine info has to be in some data store that has simple query facility. However, a database might be too heavy for this kind of application. MS now has a free version of their SQL server, but its not light at all. Neither is MySQL. I am actually leaning towards an XML file. Or even simplier, why not an INI file. As for the format of the ID, the GUID concept is a nice idea. --- On March 15, 2005 at 14:10:14, Dann Corbit wrote: >On March 15, 2005 at 12:53:43, Lance Perkins wrote: > >>One quick solution to the character intrepretation would be to use Unicode.
