This should be a basic rule. anytime we make a code change, we

That doesn't work right now. A lot of things in CVS seem not to
compile before I touch them. I think it's a bit unfair to suggest that
I make sure everything compiles before commit. Should I be fixing the
other compilation bugs as well as the DBI bugs that I want fixed now?
This is why I asked for unit tests and help in fixing DBI. I don't
know which parts are used and which parts are obsolete. If someone can
give me a list of which files are not used, or better yet remove them
from the CVS trees (careful), it would shorten the time spent on this
bug.
