Pretty close (should've included it)
Do I need the colons before the field names? I'm not doing that now.
Here's a couple table's worth:
---
-
name: PM_Static_SettingsDB
file: settings.dbf
fdel: false
dnoc: false
fields:
- key CHAR 254
- redir CHAR 254
- admin CHAR 254
- hidehelp BOOL
- last_tab CHAR 50
indexes:
-
file: cats.mvx
expr: PM_Static_catsDB.d.cat_id
flag: nounique, ascending
-
name: PM_Static_KeysDB
file: keys.dbf
fdel: false
dnoc: true
fields:
- name CHAR 50
- value NUMBER
indexes:
-
file: keys.mvx
expr: PM_Static_KeysDB.d.name
flag: nounique, ascending

I'll give that a shot, was wondering if there was a way to auto create
objects from the YAML load, but yeah, I could loop through them and do
it that way. I'll see how it goes.
