I'll do it.

BUT. here is my conditions if I were to do it.

There are probably a hundred copies of that data kicking around
out there by now.

Does the FTP site containing it have statistics?


Only 5 people are grateful or interested enough to cough up a few,
and I DO mean a FEW, bucks to help pay for it. 

I figure if that is the case we should move to a CO-OP type
arrangement. collect the money, and send those people copies.
I guess if one of them wants to post for everyone so be it.

If 6 people are still up for it, this would mean $40.00/Yr

Any takers?

More people would drop the cost, but we can't assume we will
have more at this point.
