Hmm,

Near the end of the Micro Users life, didn't someone write a freeware
utility for RISC OS which contained a database of all articles? I seem to
recall you could search through the database and it would tell you which mag
contained a certain article. If the data in that is easily extractable, it
might get you a partial database up and running quicker.
