[Loadstone] point table

[Rob Melchers]

The name field can contain 75 chars. We are working on adding point types 
and classes (see the tools page on the website under workshop) and it would 
be possible to add a 'description' field of let's say 125 chars where you 
could enter stuff like phone numbers etc. Keeping the dBase as small as 
possible is important as long as we don't find a better (open source) dBase 
that does a proper indexing job.
