Campbell > Duke Divinity School > {ethos, ecsgate}!dukeac!numen!tcamp i probably ought to direct this to mr. campbell directly, but being lazy i'll broadcast to comp.sys.atari.st. i am interested in the above-mentioned MWDB. is it a commercial (for-pay) database, or public domain data, or what? how large is it? what regions does it cover? (North America, entire earth, ...?) what kind of resolution? and the most important question... how can i get it? any info would be greatly appreciated. tom love Xerox Engineering Design and Documentation Systems PO Box 2000 Leesburg, VA 22075 (703)729-8000 ARPA: toml.lsbgegpcad@xerox.com XNS: toml:lsbg-egp/cad:xerox UUCP: uunet!smsdpg!ra!toml {sun|rlgvax|hadron}!sundc!ra!toml {rocksvax|sunybcs}!rocksanne!xrxns!toml {cornell|kodak|rutgers|cmcl2|llxn}!rochester!rocksanne!xrxns!toml GENIE: tomlove (infrequently used) Disclaimer: they didn't do it, i did, so leave them alone. -- tom love Xerox Engineering Design and Documentation Systems leesburg, va 22075 (703)729-8000 GEnie: TOMLOVE {cornell, kodak, ritcv, rutgers, cmcl2, llxn}!rochester!rocksanne!xrxns!toml {rocksvax, sunybcs}/
