With the latest VA32, you can use symbols and numbers for topic id's for a max
of 64 topics I believe. You have to manually edit the topic to change it
though. VADV-PHP 080123 or the latest snapshot supports that as well.

You can use VFileSyn to upload the CD-ROMs. Enable files.bbs and it should
import the CD descriptions.
