What's it? where can I find it?
(If it's that at: http://www.toolsandcomps.com/products_dbexp.htm
it's free for non commercial use, so you can release your code and anyone interested can download it).

Oh, it would be *very* usefull indeed! In the file section I've uploaded a program that, with a database from another IBO user, let you search a list archive. I use it often, since for me internet connection is not so available. So you would do a great thing with a local FAQ (also producing a database with this list messages... sorry, I don't know how to do it by myself... I could rewrite the front-end, if you want...)

Uhm... sounds good for a new IB_ component to add to the palette ;)
