Hi Tom,
sorry for
a) your problems
b) not reading the thread properly
GUI3000 has been around for a few years, and as far as I am aware, no-one
appears to have suffered your trauma on installation - no consolation for
you I know.
I obviously did not read the thread properly, as GUI3000 takes an Image
database, and transforms it to SQL, not an image schema. I had not thought
of such a product. It SHOULD not be that difficult to write. I will have a
look and get back to you
Apologies again
Regards
Pete
