I have included the responses below, I realize many are duplicates, but at least wanted to credit the responders. Young Minds themselves have been very helpful in answering questions, et. al.

They sell a CD ROM player for $1600, including |SunOS 4.0.x driver and SCSI cables. | |Roy Richter UUCP: {sharkey,edsews,cfctech}!rphroy!rrichter |---------------------------------------------------------------- | |I got a card from David Cote' (that's an accent grave over the e) of |Young Minds at the CD-ROM Expo.

If |you wanted to use grep or more to search or read articles you could do |that. I didn't hear any news of the Bookshelf program being ported to |Sunview or Xview on the SPARCstation, but it probably will happen. | | Dave Kemp <Kemp@dockmaster.ncsc.mil> | |------------------------------------------------------------------------ | |Michael J.

I hope things are going well at |Lotus since I am anxiously awaiting a real "software product" |for the Sun since Lotus in a DOSwindows is not ideal. | |best wishes, | |David K. Fickes dfickes@expert.com |----------------------------------------------------------------------- | | |My name is Dana Gauthier and I am the Product Manager for SunCD and I received |your inquiry via our SUN-SPOTS DIGEST. | |The following are answers to your questions: | |1) The contacts and telephone numbers are as follows: | | Company Contact Telephone | | Young Minds David Cote 714-335-1350 | Architectural Synthesis Joe Thompson 615-329-9048 | Meridian Data Greg Smith 408-438-3100 | |2) If the application is DOS based, you will have to run it under |DOS Windows. The SunCD uses the ISO 9660 file system and therefore |if you conform to the 9660 naming nomenclature, you can access data |from UNIX with out DOS Windows. | |If you have any questions, please contact me. | |Thanks, | |Dana Gauthier |---------------------------------------------------------------------- +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Chris Wraight TEL: 617-577-8500 Lotus Development Corp. {uunet,attmail}!lotus!cwraight 55 Cambridge Pkwy, Cambridge, MA 02142 MCI MAIL: 365-2471
