Well, I have nothing to do with the WRTH any more, but you are missing a vital point: WRTH is a commercial publication, not a free service. So such a thing would have to be done on subscription, and then you'd be back with the same problem - not enough people would pay. Electronic publishing would also not be appropriate for huge parts of the world such as Africa and much of Asia. Think about it: Passport to World Band Radio, which sells the vast majority of its print run in the US, has not moved across to electronic publishing. Larry is a very technical guy as well as an astute businessman. Doesn't that tell you something? Andy. ---[Start Commercial]--------------------- World Radio TV Handbook 2004 is out!
