Yes, which is why I'm suggesting the info be put into the datafiles, but
flagged (somehow) as inventory only.

I would certainly hate to have to maintain my own version of all datafiles
just because I'm obsessive about my collection!

I think that would be incredibly tough on the guys! How would they know
what's a User Mod, and what isn't?

An example is in Game of Thrones - one card is listed as "Dark Words, Dark
Wings", however the actual card doesn't have the quotes surrounding the
name. I've modified my datafiles (because it doesn't sort properly
otherwise), but when the next datafile modification comes through should CV
change the name back, or not?? What if the name is actually Dark Wings,
Dark Words, and both the origianl author and myself missed it first time
around??

As you can see, it's a tough one.
