- Actually, it isn't. Poorly worded, perhaps. What I'm thinking of doing is
- writing my own search engine (figuring I won't be able to afford to buy one)
- and obtain monthly MEDLINE data tapes. We have some pretty good database
- tools, so writing the search engine is not as horrendous as it might sound.
- I was wondering if anyone else had done this. Any information on where I
- can obtain the data tapes would be appreciated as well. I'm a computer
- center manager, and unfamiliar in this area. My operating system, by the
- way, is IBM VM.
