	I was thinking about this on the way home tonight. For the amount
that this will be used, is it really necessary to do the file based thing?
I say we try the select/update pair, and if it becomes an issue, try
something else.  Either way there is I/O involved.  And it should be a bit
easier to do the php pages.
