To the List,
Today I received this email which is self explanatory. I Ms. Englehart to get
additional information. She said that the June 1994 Master Cross Reference Data
CD ROM was the first produced and is written for DOS 3.1 or higher. Current CD
ROM's are written for Windows and DOS - Mac users get the short end of the
stick again!
She will be happy to send one disk to non government suppliers for $18.75 in
the form of a money order or credit card data. Mail your money and request for
either a June 94 or current disk to:
Defense Logistics Information Service, DLIS-VSM Subscription Team, 74
Washington Ave. N, Suite 7,
Battle Creek, MI 49017-3064. Add $4.00 if you want certified mail. You might
address the letter to Ms. Englehard and mention that you are a member of the MV
collecting community. I explained our interests to her so she now has a basis
for understanding requests for "old data". If any of you would like one of
these disks which contain all CURRENT NSN's , give Ms, Englehard a call or
write a letter and sharpen up your credit cards. Sounds like a bargain.
Drive On!
