[Xapian-discuss] Flint Database

[Colin Bell]

Thanks Richard

The wiki pointer is exactly what I needed (I didn't even know it  
existed). I am now running with Flint databases.

Sorry about the top post thing, I just replied to the message and my  
mail client chose your email instead of the mailing list, I will be  
more careful in the future.

Many thanks

Colin
