Archive-Name: auto/sci.electronics/ftp-site-with-16-000-circuit-references

It seems to me that at least half of the posting here are concerned with 
circuit-related questions.  Many would be answered by a database that we 
have recently mounted on an anonymous ftp site.  The database contains 
the following features:
	-SHAREWARE (requires registration for continued use or distribution)
	-menu-driven front end to allow searches on devices and keywords on 
		titles or circuit abstracts
	-dBASE-compatible format for those wishing to search other fields
	-references to >16,000 articles/papers containing practical 
		electronic circuit designs, from >350 different 
		magazines/journals
	-availability of photocopy/fax of most original articles (author 
		registered with CCC [Copyright Clearance Center])
	-covers virtually every field of science and technology
	-updates (annually or semi-annually, depending on response)

To download, 
	ftp to gaitlab1.uwaterloo.ca and log in as "anonymous".
The main database (~3M PKZIPped, ~10M after PKUNZIPping) is contained under 
	/pub/circuits/main
A smaller demo version (if you want to try it first) is under
	/pub/circuits/demo
Be sure to give a bin command before getting these files.

*** Suggestions, comments, questions and any other feedback would be 
appreciated. ***
