OK, this doesn't work at the moment. Simons code to initialise the struct that            
 
27
holds the superclass information was flawed (because he tested it on Linux (32            
 
28
bit) and not Alphas (64 bit). In fact his code would stop you initialising an             
 
29
acedb database on Alphas with a superclass defined so I've had to fix it !                
 
30
                                                                                          
 
31
Now I've fixed that but there is another problem in that the superclass now           
 
32
appears in the "other class" list in the main window but not in query                     
 
33
builder.....sigh....                                                                      
 
34
                                                                                          
 
35
You would have thought that there might be just one way call to prepare the list          
 
36
of classes for the main window or query builder or.... but no, there are several          
 
37
routines, all undocumented.                                                               
 
38
                                                                                          
 
39
I think that main window stuff will work but other bits will not, you'll just             
 
40
have to push me when you come to need them.
