I think there's only one problem with doing this when it is complete. That
is the confidentiality issue; the database contains a lot of very
useful names and addresses. We asked people to specify if they wanted
information to be kept private, so the potential problem isn't there
so much as with the Prolog vendors. I don't want to be party to
charges of poaching customers! We've asked the Prolog Vendors' Group
to adjudicate this issue and if that's cleared we'll probably make it
available by ftp in several formats.

but he hasn't submitted it to the Prolog 1000 yet!
