The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.

We read externally-described files in program-described mode with some
regularity, because we have full control over any changes to the
structure of those files. That allows the files to remain
level-check-enabled for the benefit of any outside programs accessing them.
Or there's always the option of replacing native RLA with SQL (a subject
that usually has me reaching for the industrial-strength Tums I keep in
a desk drawer).
