Thanks, Eliot. I found the threads. They baffle me. What I'm actually after is paying someone to integrate the search. While I could go to guru or elance, I'd much rather come here, where folks are familiar with Links.
I've purchased a license for 2.0. It's up and running at www.gypsyqueen.com. What I want to do is integrate a Dmoz search with 2.0 with plans to export the whole mess to SQL sometime next year -- or whenever my own database of links exceeds 8,000 - 9,000 links.
And, as I said. I'm willing to pay for the integration.
