- I just put all my .frm & .sql files in a directory & tell
- everyone to use them. I have never found a problem & see no
- reason why there should be one. All my users also are
- logged into the database automagicly as I have created a shell
- script to do that fro them to. I just have a program SAD which
- is the application name.
