It would come with nothing - just raw text. Something like "Altavista
Discovery" could index & search the CDROM for you.

All postings are copyright the respective poster. No commercial or
public use can be made of any posting without permission of the poster
except as the "fair use" rule applies. The case law on mail archive (and
Internet News) copyrights is complicated. Kevin - any references? I
researched this a while back - and was totally befuddled with trying to
making sense out of the decisions.
