>about the editor - all in one stop.  The FII has 4 relevant articles, FLI
>(searching annual vols. 1981-93) has 5.  Only 2 are common.

>FLI is elegant and time consuming, FII is cruder and quick.  Neither is

These do sound valuable. I'd love to get pricing information on these
discs.
 
For the general film audience, I think MPG CD-ROM is better than anything
else available at a resonable (under $100) price. For something more
comprehesive, these sound wonderful.
 
Any more info would be appreciated.
