I have here before me an advertisement, sent by a friend who works for the company, announcing the OED on two CD-ROMs, published by Bouwker Electronic Publishing 245 West 17th Street New York NY 10011-5301 800/323-3288 The list price given is $1250 US. Apart from the fact that a Bouwker employee is my friend, I have no connection with that company. ==INTERNET: anderson@vms.macc.wisc.edu====Jess Anderson======(home:)======== | UUCP: {harvard,rutgers,allegra,ucbvax} 1210 W.
