Is this also a commercial CD ROM?  If so, I'll be glad to tell people about
another project underway that I am heading which will include not only the
ASR, but the STARS, the AJPO repository, software contributed by Rational
and Verdix Corporation, as well as additional material from dozens of other
places around the network.

If you're in a rush, Grebyn Corporation produces current copies (updated
approximately quarterly) of the ASR and other software on Sun QIC-150
cartridges.  These form the basis for our upcoming Ada CD ROM.  E-mail
products@grebyn.com for more information.

Is this going to be a University CD ROM?  Or a MITRE CD ROM?  Or a
commercial venture?  Could you clarify the association between your
"advertising" of the project and any involvement (financial or otherwise) in
it?  Me - I'm doing it purely from a profit (hiya Greg!) motive.
