Hi Daryl,

One other thought suggest by my co-worker (Steve Chiswell) was using a symbolic 
link to the file, then pqinserting the file with the link.  Here's his message:

What do you mean by META data inclusion?  If I'm guessing your meaning 
correctly, we don't have a way to associate meta data with the data at this 
point.  We have, in fact, been discussing the issue for a long time (we call it 
"The Meta Data Issue") - that is, how to determine meta data and how to store 
it.  Is this what you mean?
