Andy: That is kinda scary... I see a couple of __db.001, __db.002 etc laying around so I assume that your action item #1 would get rid of those. I looked around that directory but all the files are data files so I can't figure out what that stuff does or is supposed to do. Can you point me to some documentation that explains what these files do? I don't like ripping stuff out without really understanding what it does.
