    I think we are waiting for someone to offer to provide the
resources required. The files are way too large to post to the
list, we would need an http or ftp server with good connectivity.
If the files are compressed with "gzip -9", the storage resources
required are about 14 Mb, with "bzip2 -9" about 8 Mb.  (I posted a
detailed summary of various commpression methods on Wed, Dec 15,
1999).

    I e-mailed the woman at the FAA about the copyright status
of the data. The response I got was not very clear, and I have been
planning to call her by phone but haven't got around to it quite
yet as she is 3 time zones away and has rather odd hours...
