"I have misplaced/deleted some very important info. Please help if you know:
There is a library which allows you to search articles and then enter a
fax number and credit card number, and within a day you have the article
faxed to you."

This would be Carl Uncover, a great service. You can telnet them at:
CSI.CARL.ORG or DATABASE.CARL.ORG.

Subject: Word lists

You need to be more specific as to wordlists, Ari. There are many lists,
such as those put out by the American and Canadian Committees on Modern
Languages (German, French, Spanish, later Italian and Portuguese) or by the
various associations, such as Wadepuhl-Morgan's _Minimum Standard German
Vocabulry_, prepared for the American Association of Teachers of German (NY:
Crofts, 1934). Lynn Nelson's cite (UKansas) even has a Latin list online,
and such lists are available also for, e.g. German. For the four `standard'
languages, Helen Eaton has published a one volume word-count. One needs to
know what you are looking for. A Swadesh list?
