Lines: 18 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. -- - Susan Cole USENET: ...!hplabs!sri-unix!cole ARPA: cole@unix.sri.com
