I must admit rather sheepishly that my original question should never have
been posted and I do apologize for that. I have received 55+ messages since
I posted the original message yesterday. I will not list out all of the
email addresses of those who sent me replies.

Essentially the gist of the replies are(percentages are approximate):

50% 1) Read the FAQ. There are 2+ sites that already have this available:
http://www.latech.edu/sunman.html
http://www.dataman.nl/cgi-bin/sunmanagers

43% 2) "I am interested in a searchable web site" -- See #1

5% 3) "I am interested in a copy of the DB" -- See #1,#4

2% 4) "I am interested in a cdrom containing the db for those times I am
unable to connect to the net" -- Sorry doesn't exist....yet.

Actually I wouldn't mind a #4....There are a large number of times when I
have absolutely NO access to the internet from where I am working. I'd like
to take a quick poll and see how much interest there is for this. Perhaps
with enough interest we can put together a NFP (Not for profit) CD
collection that includes the SUMMARY DB but also a collection of usefull
docs/utilities?

When answering this question, please only reply to me if you are
interested. Also let me know what type of DB would be most useful as well
as what docs/utils you would find most useful.
