[IRCServices] Database Question

[Michael Smith]

Hmm, as far as I know the services files are flat binary files with variable
length fields, however, the positions are fixed, ie password will always be
after nick etc.... 

All "fields" are terminated with /0

I am working on a way of letting services use mysql or a similar database to
keep the info on. This will
enable revision control, rollback, and allow a central services database to
be used for multiple (backup copies) of services, in addition, because it is
now in database form, web utilities etc are now a very easy reality.
