CDK Grant Program for edutcational institutions!!!! see below… Sysop…Please check with Joe McCrae (spelled wrong? sorry) about leaving this one message posted here. When we asked if it was OK to repost a message multiple times so that it would be here for more than a week, he told us that he would help us to keep at least one message here so we would not have to repost it repeatedly. Unfortunately, I've lost the reply so that I can't forward it to you to see. Also, we're told a renewed CDK library section will be coming? It was deleted to make more room at one time, we are told. Is this still in the works? Posted at the request of the CDK development team: The following information was released today, Tuesday, November 1, 1994 at 6:08 am PST.

You may wish to upload this type of Press Release to the Index and Info Section. It'll stay there for years. 🙂 << Also, we're told a renewed CDK library section will be coming?
