I also have an older version of my databases available. These were the ones that I had on the Internet many years ago. They are all available in multiple formats, but only the Microsoft Works version has been tested. Please note that these databases have not be updated since September 1999, so they are slightly out of date. It is very easy to update them yourself, however.
