   module Data
      include DBDBD
      def parse
        cmt = ""
        each do |s|
          case s
          when END_RE
            yield cmt
          when DATA_RE
            yield cmt,s
            cmt = ""
          when COMMENT_RE
            cmt << s
          end
        end
      end
    end
