Just as a 'final' bit of info on Z39.50 - for those of you who want to know - THE website for this is http://lcweb.loc.gov/Z3950/agency - the Library of Congress are responsible for its maintance. Also you'll find implemntors etc. Another site is http://www.research.att.com/~wald/Z3950 (maybe z39.50...) Hope this helps David dgodfrey_at_continuum.co.nz ______________________________ Reply Separator _________________________________Subject: Re: Z39.50
