I'm looking for the *large* data files for WorldDataBank, from Fred Fish #262. The authors ( Mike Groshart and Bob Dufford ) reported that WDB.2.all and WDB.1.all were too big to be included in the original distribution. Could someone tell me an ftp site/directory that would have them, or the authors e-mail address? Respond by e-mail, unless you feel that there is an overwhel- ming desire to know this on the net. Thanks much. -jp

I then tried 'quote stat' (or is it 'xcat') to look at it in situ @ab20 and it gave me identical garbage. So a plea: Could the person who put it up there please try again ? And to Tad Guy @ab20 : I sent a mail message to ftp@ab20 suggesting that you could delete it - but no response/action. Did you ever get it ? Anyway, as you're gonna do some mighty cleaning there - this file can be turfed out.

There is no "/amiga/graphics/utilities" directory. I found the file in "/amiga/graphics/images" but as was reported earlier (I think), the second file 'wdb.2.all' is corrupt.
