  FYI, speaking as someone who works with large, complex databases  
every day, this is not the norm in the database world.  Database  
corruption is about as common as filesystem corruption in the real  
database world.  The fact that Protel has problems doesn't describe  
how the rest of the world works...it just says "don't use Protel".
