----------------------------Original message---------------------------- I've just recieved a copy of Geodex to evaluate for use as means for checking in depository maps. A few questions: One, the last update I see in ftp://ftp.csd.uwm.edu/pub/geodex is for March. Is this the normal lag time for updates? Entering our own records detailed enough to make Geodex useful would not be possible with current staff/time constraints. The software appears ill suited for non-regular sheets such as the miscellaneous investigations series. Do libraries using Geodex use something else for such series? It appears as though the size of a database file has a pretty large effect on the usability, particularly searching for sheet names which are (unfortunately) not indexed. Does anyone have opinions on practical upper limit, first assuming a 25MHz 386SX, then a 33MHz 486DX? Thanks, John Fieber [log in to unmask]
