   Wow, thanks everyone for great advice.  I also like the directory structure   
   previously mentioned.  Although i'm not sure i may want to go with a separate   
   box if i can get it.  Also the RDA website is an excellent resource i used   
   years ago when i first did Paradox development for a brief time.  Back in   
   the days of the Application Framework, glad we don't use that anymore.  :)
