My suggestion is to put the data in a searchable HTML formated database. Searchable for the obvious reasons and HTML so people with PCs, MACs or UNIX etc. can all use it. Personally I cannot imagine more than 50 or so CDs that wanted to be produced so getting them commercially duped would be too expensive. The cost for a CDR is bulk is about C$2 a CD. I am willing to donate my time and buy the CDs but someone will have to pay me for the media which I think is only fair!
