I could be totally wrong but I thought I had heard something about 
5.0 having the db in or so it could be read as .xlm or .xml format.. 
I havent seen 5.0 working yet so I wouldn't know. can anyone tell me 
more about that?
Also Aragon if your sharing that script you made that allows users to 
log in id like to take a look at it.
Thanks
