Extremely easy to set up. I got all four of the counties that I maintain
queries for up about an hour. The main reason I switched was because of
mailmerge sometimes "losing" queries. I will continue maintaining the
actual queries in CCHelper another great tool.
That's my 2 cents.

Short and sweet,
Looks like the system I have been waiting for. Took less than an hour
to get set up. Nate did it in a lot less than that.
See our comments on the eval BBS below. I added those CCs to this
message that do not seem to be on pagen-l. Hope I did not miss anyone.

Hi Gary and all,
Just wanted to add that the MDGenWeb Project is test-driving this system
also. We have 10 of our 24 counties online and so far the response has
been very favorable (from cc's and regular query posters). I am using it
also to maintain the Unknown County Queries for our state - whew what a
big job that is --
If anyone in PA has questions about this system I would be happy to
answer them. I am not an expert -- but it is very easy to use. BTW - I
receive my queries via email and they are already formatted for cchelper.
So any PA CC's who use cchelper may want to check it out.
Also, Nancy Trice did say that the BBS is open to anyone - so please feel
free to try it even if your PA neighbor decides not to.
