Hello!

Wisc-ware offers a number of database programs (some with contents) for
analysis of American historical data. Wisc-ware is a consortium of
educational institutions that distributes research and instructional
software for IBM personal computers. It is based at the university of
Wisconsin-Madison and can be reached by e-mail as
Wiscware@wiscmacc.bitnet; by phone as (800) 543-3201; or by mail at
Wisc-Ware, the Academic Computing Center, University of Wisconsin,
Madison, 1210 W. Dayton St., Madison, WI 53706. The cost of a software
package is typically $25 per individual copy for member institutions,
$50 per class copy, $50 per individual copy for non-member institutions.

I hope this helps!

I thank everyone who sent in the flurry of information and advice on flying
with laptops. I'm back from my weekend in London, and am happy to report that
I fed the Zenith through the x-ray machine as everyone seems to concur is the
right thing to do, and did not even have to boot it for security on the way
out at JFK.

Thanks again.
