    This message is being posted to both LIBREF-L and CDROM-L.  I apologize
    for any duplicate mail.

    Please send replies directly to me at hurley_jm@corning.com as I am not
    currently a member of CDROM-L.

    ------------------------------

    In our business library we currently have several CDROM products.  Of
    these, the Dun's Business Locator is used primarily for an quick
    reference in locating/verifying company names, addresses and phone
    numbers.

    My questions are as follows:

    1.   Does anyone know of a CDROM product which also allows for the
         retrieval of company's based on SIC codes or industry, as well as
         serves as a locator?  How does this product compare with DBL.

    2.   Has anyone every had any experience with Prophone?

    BTW - we run our CDROMs on a Compaq 386 machine with a Toshiba player.

    TIA for any/all help.  If information abounds, I'll summarize and send
    to both lists.
