The MARC format is better than DBASE for this purpose because it uses
variable length fields and was designed for bibliographic data.
However, it is not an easy format to work with and many PC users who
could benefit from the data would not have access to conversion software.
One program that will convert from MARC to DBASE and back is the Data
Magician. If you want information on this program, contact me directly.

E-Copyright:
I think that "fair use" can easily be applied to the nets, and
that scholarly conventions for print can also be extended
fairly easily.
Thus you may cite materials which appear on the net if you
credit them to their authors. To the extent to which
owners have provided a structure (e.g.,
Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 7, No. 0021. Friday, 21 May 1993)
that should be given;
or, failing that, conventions similar to those which you would
use in citing a private letter.

Re: Music Garden, I suggest these from Theocritean/Vergilian pastoral:
a pine tree from Theocritus 1.1 (_hadu ti to psithurisma kai ha pitus,
aipole._._._) and common oats from Vergil Ecl. 1.1 (_Tityre tu patulae
recubans sub tegmine fagi/silvestrem tenui Musam meditaris avena_--well
it's 1.2 then).
