The easiest way to do this at the moment is to run the server locally,=20=

build up a store, then move it to the server. What I'd like to do=20
eventually is write an encrypted file which contains the initial files=20=

which can then taken to the server and added in a rather more=20
controlled and automatic manner.

There are so many features on my list, and so little time to write=20
them. :-(
