Had to LOL about the AOLiza thing… there used to be a version of Eliza for the C64 in BASIC. Then I got a Forth cartridge and rewrote it in Forth on a lark. Called it Fliza, of course. :o) The wierd thing was that the size of the source code kept getting smaller as I worked on it, beyond what I’d have thought was possible (except for the string literals).
RE ManilaWebsites.root, IMHO it’s not such a bad thing — it doesn’t make a _huge_ difference to portablity, and it keeps the number of open files down too. Overall, I think it’s a reasonable design choice — it’s not hard to uninstall the site, copy it to another GDB and reinstall it on the same machine or a different one.

I am just wondering when this change too place, and why I didn’t know about it — did I miss a release note that explained it? Is there a pref I can set to change this behavior? I don’t mind the multiple GDBs, since my Manila server is only open to sites that I create. And since Frontier should be able to handle all of the open GDBs, it shouldn’t be a problem.
