[rec.birds] AOU Checklist

eric@ellis.uchicago.edu (Eric Nelson) (03/25/91)

Is there any sort of archive that stores a current copy of the
American Ornithological Union Checklist of the Birds, and/or any PD
software for DOS?  I am relatively ignorant concerning birding, so I
am not aware of any net resources, while my father knows birding but
is new to computing (and has no net access).  I saw the references in
recent postings to Plover, datahawk and Birdbrain, and to Birder
magazine, so I could look in those directions if necessary.
Nonetheless, if there is anything available on the net that I could
get to him, he would really enjoy it.

Thanks for the help.

Electronic mail responses (I presume) would be best, although if there
is interest, I will compile responses and post them.
