Thanks to everyone who was kind enough to help out.  The suggestions I received
fell into four categories:

1. phil@amdcad.UUCP (Phil Ngai):  USE A PAL!

I guess I should have mentioned in my posting that I'm a student, and I need
this IC for a senior project.  I actually had to get the EE Dept. here to
order an EPROM burner!  I guess they'll have a PAL programmer in about 25
years.  Maybe AMD has a school-donation program?

2. phred!loreng (Loren Gahnberg): 74HCT238
I don't have any data books here that list this IC, but I see JDR (the mail-
order place where I usually get this stuff) carries them for $1.49.  Not
bad at all...

3.  reichel@cookie.dec.com, kvvax4!truls (Truls Ellefsen),
herzog@leadsv.LEADS.LMSC.COM (Jordan Herzog), kontron!andyt (Andy Thornton):
74F538 or 25LS2538
These sound like pretty snazzy chips, with enables and tri-states and an
output polarity selection pin.  Dave Miller mentions a price of $4.15/ea, but
I see that JDR carries the 25LS2538 for $3.74/ea, as compared with $.39 for
the plain old 74138...

4. LOTS of people:  74259
This is a neat solution because I've already got a couple spare.  It's a
little slower than the others, but that's not problem.  BTW it goes for $1.29.

Thanks again for all your help.  I apologize if I wasn't able to respond to
your suggestions individually...
