Is a CD-ROM enough for everything? And in which format are they? Just simple text files in a bunch of directories or there is something fancier such as some cross references and indexes? They used to make source *listings* available on fiche; I have several sets of those. It's a stack of fiche maybe 3-4" thick. How old are these "listings"? I haven't looked at them in years, but I think I have at least 5.1 and 5.2, possibly 4.7. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA
