Hello-

I don't believe that information from DIALOG is free
anywhere--on the Internet or not.  DIALOG Information
Services is a commercial enterprise headquartered in Palo
Alto, CA.  This company acts as a sort of information broker
and provides access to some 380+ databases--all for a fee.
It is a pay-as-you-search operation.  It is arranged this
way mostly because DIALOG doesn't 'own' most of the
information it provides access to--the publishers with which
DIALOG contracts 'own' it and therefore get a piece of the
price that DIALOG charges the user.

All this i not to say that tsources
besides DIALOG for the information you need that are
avaree on the Internet.  I would be interested
to hear if you find about any.

Hope this helps.

-Barbara
