I absolutely agree! We need to get all of this stuff onto one of the
archive systems (sunbane, joshua, etc.) so we can all get at it whenever
we want. I'd definitely be willing to kick in my share of $$ to cover
the cost.

Well, maybe we can get Rob (at Cornell) to do it for us and then everyone
on this end could split the price equally and send him a check. Yah, I
know that's pretty financially naive, but I suspect that anything else
we come up with would probably be about the same.
I personally want the Subsector data, since I've got a whizzo X-Windows
program that reads UWP's for a given subsector and spits out a subsector
map (on a laserjet) that looks almost as good as the stuff printed by
GDW. I need more data (shades of Johnny 5!) and I don't want to type
it in myself!
