As seen in my initial response, the SAC db is available to anyone, and as you
said, as long as SAC is credited, as I said also, there isn't a problem. It
needs to be pointed out though, that the database is >space delimited<, and the
"typo" is intentional as set forth in the column descriptions describing the
delimits for the database.Steve DodderChairman, SAC Novice GroupCoordinator,
