     Has anyone tried any of the CDROM systems  that  inter-
face  to computers?  I am thinking in particular of the Gro-
lier encyclopedia.  I understand that a number of publishers
are  going  to make discs available.  If I get enough info I
will summarize.

We have a ROMULUS CDROM that we are in the process of evaluating. The Grolier
Encyclopedia is an excellent example of the type and quantity of information
storage that can be presented in the CDROM format. Note that this is a "Text
only" system...no pictures.

For more information about a CD-ROM User's Group contact Jerry McFaul at the
U.S. Geological Survey (703-648-7126).
