----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Have I stumbled into another lost cause? I called PC Globe using the number provided on the original box, only to awaken some sleepy soul who said this was not the PC Globe phone number. Next I tried our acquisitions department, who found a new number (800) 255-2789 in some magical book that lists everyone's number. This call produced a recording saying the number was disconnected and that there was no futher information. Then I called the "800" operator, who could find no listing for PC Globe. Is this company still up and running? Does anyone know a "good" number to contact them? We are attempting to upgrade our various mapping programs here and to locate new programs. This is due in part to the fact that I am chair of an IFLA working group that is compiling an international directory of PC based mapping programs. We are interested in identifying programs world-wide as well as in the U.S., obtaining copies for examination, and developing a guide so that intelligent choices can be made by users. This working group was established at the IFLA-Barcelona meeting this past August 1993. IFLA meets in Havana this August 1994, and in Istanbul in 1995. We hope to have gathered enough data to procede with this directory by the 1995 meeting. Any information on PC based mapping programs, comments on their use, and contacts with interested producers who would like to be considered would be very much appreciated. Please send your comments via Maps-L, so that everyone can benefit from the discovery of new ways to use their PCs. David C.
