We are looking for a way to give users here on-line access to the list
of government projects called the Commerce Business Daily (CBD).
Currently most people seem to be relying on hard-copy printouts.  From
what I have heard of this database -- paragraph-long abstracts
cross-referenced by various keywords -- it sounds like the type of
thing that could be handled quite comfortably as a set of read-only
local newsgroups.  (We use rn as a reader here.)  If anyone is actually
doing this, would you mind either posting or sending e-mail describing
your setup, experiences, and any problems that have come up?  Thanks.
