Thanks to everyone who responded to my orginal request for
     information about full text newspapers on CDROM.  As promised
     here is a summary of the responses.  Most of the respondents did
     not say whether the products mentioned were in ASCII text or full
     image unless where mentioned

     1. Softline Information, Inc. has a CD product called Ethnic
        NewsWatch which provides full text coverage for 100 U.S.
        ethnic newspapers.  Their address is P.O. Box 16845, Stamford,
        CT 06905, (203) 968-8878 or fax 968-2370.

     2. Newsbank offers The Washington Post, Washington Times and New
        York Newsday as full text products.  These were the only three
        titles mentioned.

     3. One respondent mentioned that UMI gives full text coverage to
        seven main U.S. newspapers, however, she did not list the
        titles of the seven.  Another respondent did, however, mention
        that UMI has The Washington Post, NY Times and Wall Street
        Journal on CD.  These products are full text but not full
        image.  Coverage is from 1990 forward.  Each year is on a
        separate disc so you will need to take into consideration the
        number of disc drives available to your location when
        evaluating this product.  In the past, UMI was providing some
        type of discounts to users of their microfilm products.  This
        policy may or may not be in existence today.

     4. ProQuest offers The NY Times on CD.

     5. Dialog Ondisc offers New York Newsday on CD.

     If anyone has anything to add to this list there are several of
     us out here who are interested.

     Are there any newswire services who are offering their products,
     full text, on CD?
