#Mineral database
3 messages in this thread
My thoughts were more along the line of how to get it to users. It will need to
be on a disk to ship it to everyone which may mean compacting it.
I've had my hard disk up to where there was only 2-3 megs space left, but in
general, most users won't have a problem. If they have room for 800 k they
probably have room for 1.4 megs. (I just bought my third hard drive and it
amazing how fast it is filling up though!)
I've just decided to not release it as a text only file, but design it as an
application. So, if I can squeeze the time out it will be 2 months or more
before you see it, depending on how much I get wrapped up in other things, some
of which also should be done soon. Geez, and Tucson is going to take a week out
of February, then there is Art's Arkansas book, the MN second 5-yre index…
Better make that a few years! 🙂

Hi, Lanny–
Don't get stuck in Tucson; you have to return home so you can get snowbound
and keep working on the database…

Actually that wouldn't be too bad, but after a real early start, winter has
left. The last couple weeks have been dry, and now it is warm (40s) and
supposed to be near 50 the next couple of days. So, on the return home it is
likely that I will either rust or drown, not be snowbound!
But then again, getting stuck in Arizona with all those localities in the
sunshine…
