I have something that got very near completion but I have been working on
other things and still haven't polished up the component yet. It is IB_FTS
and it takes care of a lot of the work to setup a full text search system in
IB.

It depends on a replication service that I am trying to finish up, which
replication program relies on a NT service application framework with
threads that I am trying to get finished up.

These three items I have been hoping to include with IBO v4 as separate
packages. I think they would be very useful and go far beyond just being a
sample or demo to look at.

If I didn't have 100+ emails to answer in a day I would probably be making
more progress with development...
Life at the coal face...
