- Yes, there is. Actually, I think there are several. We are investigating
- one from the makers of the D.A.T.A. book series. One disk is the 'index'
- and gives you the ability to search and cross-reference a part or look for
- desired characteristics. It also lists makers of substitutes. The other
- 60 or so CD disks contain scanned images of data books. (I was told that
- they have about 60 disks, I haven't confirmed it yet. This seems like a
- huge number to me, but I guess it could be right). We are getting one of
- the systems in for 30 day evaluation next week. If you have specific
- questions about it, send me e-mail in about 2 weeks.
