Hi, Jerry–
I'm not sure about Nathan and George, but Torrie and I have no big problem
bringing up MINID in windows (from MINDB1.ZIP alone with no special adapting in
my case at least), and selecting the database. But any attempt to get it to
admit the existence of any mineral chews up a lot of time and shows us no list
of minerals. Like you being unable to search and find quartz. Entering
parameters that should match calcite matches no minerals, and trying to simply
show the entry by entering the name "calcite" misfires also (I can see it in a
hex dump of the data file).
I see no manual other than the windows help file. The author is Mike McCormack
(73123,2165).
