I was musing to myself about setting up some FreeBSD X terminals in our library with multi-tray CD-ROM drives and have some sort of search engine written. Of course, users would also be able to use Netscape and telnet to access other databases around the world. The big disadvantage is that DOS/Windows machines already have a giant head start in terms of front-ends for accessing proprietary database CD-ROM's. :( > Yes and last night I updated the indexed archive to be current, Great, thanks very much! I've found the answer to one of the questions I posted (as I suspected). I'd love to have all these messages tucked away on a CD-ROM or two for reference. -- Brian ("Though this be madness, yet there is method in't") Tao taob@gate.sinica.edu.tw <-- work ........ play --> taob@io.org
