Hi Steve.

The list of aquatic plants has been passed around as an ascii file for almsot
a decade now, and in my opinion we need to go to the next ste; that is,
it's probbaly time to throw it into a database to make updates and
report generation easier.

Coincidentally, I've written a web front end to an SQL database so
it can be manilpulated from anywhere that you canbrowse the web.

I've putt killifish information in this, so I can generate these
ascii files. For example, I can ask it to spit out all Epiplatys
species and it gives me:

DATABASE: killies TABLE: codes
