Thanks again for the feedback, folks. I think what I'm going to do is
start from ground level with the PEAR MDB2 project
(http://pear.php.net/package/MDB2 -- an "abstraction layer" that works
with 8 different databases, including MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite) and
try to produce output that can be styled with pagelist templates... and
ideally that can fool both pagelists and FASTData into treating database
records as pages. We'll see! I'm sure I'll be back to ask for help at
regular intervals. ;-) --Ben
