We have both ABI/INFORM and Compendex on CD-ROM at my library.  Both are 
very popular - ABI is consistently our top-used CD-ROM, and Compendex is 
#2.  Their subject and journal coverage is very different, so I don't know 
how possible it is to compare them.  But in terms of searching, they're 
both pretty good.  Personally, I think Compendex is easier to use, but our 
students don't have much trouble using ABI, either.  I recommend both of 
them.  

Let me know if you need more specific information.
