Yes, it's a huge project. There are thousands of pages!
> The big question is how to set up a searchable index on the disk,
Another problem with doing an index is how to deal with name changes. Is
that Salmo gairdneri or Oncorhynchus mykiss? Hybopsis monachus, Cyprinella
monacha or Erimonax monachus? Squawfish or pikeminnow? etc. etc. etc.

My talks with a copyright lawyer seemed to indicate that while NANFA does
not "own" the articles, it does own the anthology (i.e., the magazine) in
which they appeared. And since the CD would be a faithful reproduction of
the anthology, our anal fins are covered.
Bruce, do you know if the ACA and AKA tracked down every author, or of they
have authors sign over their submissions?
