[info-mcl] Wood on MCL 5.1

[Sheldon Ball]

Hi Ron,

I have noted unrecoverable database corruption as well but only when  
the WOOD database was opened and written to.
For use as a stable (unchanged) database (i.e. write once, use  
without change), it seems to be acceptable.
I suppose something can be done to render WOOD more stable during  
write operations.
It is open source.

Thanks,
Sheldon
