It seems to me that at least half of the posting here are concerned with
circuit-related questions.  Many would be answered by a database that we
have recently mounted on an anonymous ftp site.  The database contains
the following features:
        -SHAREWARE (requires registration for continued use or distribution)
        -menu-driven front end to allow searches on devices and keywords on
                titles or circuit abstracts
        -dBASE-compatible format for those wishing to search other fields
        -references to >16,000 articles/papers containing practical
                electronic circuit designs, from >350 different
                magazines/journals
        -availability of photocopy/fax of most original articles (author
                registered with CCC [Copyright Clearance Center])
        -covers virtually every field of science and technology
        -updates (annually or semi-annually, depending on response)


To download,
        ftp to gaitlab1.uwaterloo.ca and log in as "anonymous".
The main database (~3M PKZIPped, ~10M after PKUNZIPping) is contained under
        /pub/circuits/main
A smaller demo version (if you want to try it first) is under
        /pub/circuits/demo
Be sure to give a bin command before getting these files.


*** Suggestions, comments, questions and any other feedback would be
appreciated. ***
