If you delete it,

         Accepted. Out of curiosity, is hammie.db a hashed copy of the data 
base and hammie.db.dir a flat copy? (No need to answer, I'll take    a look 
at the source code to try and figure it out.) One reason I'm curious is 
that it seems to at least as accurate as before without  retraining, and I 
only deleted hammie.db.dir - not hammie.db.

         In any event, this is a great piece of software - one that does it 
job both well and elegantly. Kudos to all involved. Think I need to 
come     up to speed on some of  the other data bases.
