It is an update of something I wrote in D7, but the users who got the
BDS2006 system have never seen the D7 system.

  It uses update #2, is stable and fast, and offers much over what they
were using before.

  The only negative feedback I have received to date is that some
searches are slower than in the old system.

  This is a very large system where searching is not the main focus, and
searching in the new system is _almost_ always orders of magnitudes
faster than in the old system. But there's always an edge case.

  I wrote both the old system and the new system.  The old system is
single-user, the new system is multi-user.  

  The best case search in the old system is always going to be faster
than the best case search in the new system since the multi-user nature
of the new system implies a little bit more house-keeping.

  A worst case search in the old system could tie up the computer for
many minutes at a time. The same worst case search might take half a
second in the new system.

  Isn't it amazing that people can ignore everything that has been
improved and concentrate instead on the one thing that might take a
little bit longer?

  I reckon there are bunch of similar attitudes about the new IDE.  If
the IDE crashes or goes into La La land for a couple of minutes, then
there is cause for complaint, but mostly the new IDE is better, more
functional, and sufficiently fast for anything that I need.

  Thanks Borland, and raspberries to anyone who complains about my new
system's search speed.
