[net.micro] Byte Index

Well, its like this. Phil Lemmons, Editor in Chief at Byte magazine said
they are planning an index, originally scheduled for the January issue, they
were unable to get it together in time and are therefore going with it in
the Febuary issue. Unfortunately for us the index is on some weird disk format
and is truly machine readable at this time. I am pursuing the possibility of 
getting some sort of file that could be massaged into a dBase or generic 
DB format. So if you can wait until then, then Feb is the date. I will keep 
anyone who is interested up to date on these things. Now, is anyone interested
in computerizing the 3 year index from a couple of years ago? I would be 
willing to type in some of it, if only to make it more readable.
