Hi Dragan,

Do you know the thread number to check? Ric and I showed some code with low-level functions in this thread. Also Mike proposed to write a class library for all these functions (Append, PACK, Index, etc.) with a progress bar, if we show interest in it. I'm interested, but I didn't see responses from other UTrs.
