  Yes, I quite understand. I wish I had time to help. 

  Would it be easier to write a v3->v4 gnatsd converter perhaps?

  So, is there some way that I can run both v3 and v4 gnatsd? 

  Can I convince the v3 tkGnats to just do read-only access via gnatsd,
and submit all updates via email (which would go to a v4 system)?

  Well, maybe that doesn't help, since I need to support Win32 people,
which is why I don't just point tkGnats at the disk. I think that pointing
at the disk is strongly discouraged in v4..

  gnatsweb was more popular with some people, but I'm not one of them.
