Subject: Index to BYTE

Many of us have been annoyed by the fact that BYTE seems to have
given up indexing its book.  There is a lot of good stuff there,
but finding it when you need it is godawful.

Assuming that BYTE is not about to do an index (are they, Jerry P.?),
here is an idea:
  How about a cooperative project in which as many of the netlandians
who want to participate JOINTLY put together a PD BYET index.
A group of us could be a teering committee to set up a system
(probably based on dBSEII) and then -- when the system exists as a
.CMD file for data entry -- people could volunteer to do
1 or 2 back issues, or maybe half an issue, or whetever (depends on
the number of volunteers).  If that works, and if enough
people are willing to help, we can have for our use something that
BYTE damned well should provide to its subscribers, but doesn't seem
to want to provide (why not, Jerry P.?).

If interested in participating in this project, please
contact me at STORK@MIT-MC.  If there is enough interest,
I'll put together a proposal for the people who are
interested.  Please indicate if you are willing to (1) help
plant the project, and/or (2), index an issue.
If volunteering for indexing, pls indicateyour collection or
access to back issues.
