   Not sure what you mean by that.

   I ran one for a while on Win2k Profetional, the only issue I had was not
all of the functions/natives methods are fully or even partially
implemented.  Over all though it performs well and is just as stable as far
as I can tell.

   Not my area... I'm sure someone else will answer that.

   I think what you want is described on the following page under the
Compiling/Decompiling a database section; unless you literally meant
"parts."
