Frank, Instead of an encyclopedia, consider Information Access's "Magazine Rack" disc. This is the most mind-bogglingly useful tool I've ever come across. What it consists of is the full text of three hundred magazine titles spanning November, 1989 to January, 1991 (a newer version of it is in production). I've had this disc since August, and I cannot stump it. It ALWAYS delivers! The best part about it is that Information Access also maintains the Magazine Databases series here on CIS. Therefore, if you find a search routine that gets you high-quality "hits" on the disc, log onto CIS and use it on CIS. The online MAGRACK lags "real-time" by only a month. All this, and it costs a mere $90.00. BUY THIS DISC! ..<Bob>

My company, PsL, sells Magazine Rack for $78 plus $4 shipping. The best way to find out about it is to get it and try it. PsL has a satisfaction guarantee. You can return any CD (and all original materials in undamaged condition) for a complete refund of the purchase price, excluding the shipping charge. Get the file CDROM.EXE on DL-10 for more info.

Bob, Please tell me more about what is on "Magazine Rack". It sounds like a very interesting disc but I'd like to know what subject matter is covered. Thanks. -Robert
