Hy folks,
we are happy to announce that we now have VLB (Verzeichniss
lieferbarer Buecher) also known as G-BIP (German Books in
Print) running under Linux.
At autum book fair in Frankfurt I went to the major vendors
of CD-ROM bibliographies and asked them for a linux port
of their dos based CD-ROM database programs.
My main argument was that a Linux port will help all unix
based book shops, as its very cheap the have a linux box
aside.
So we are now happy that VLB is running, VLZ (Verzeichniss
lieferbarer Zeitschriften) Bowker alias BIP (Books in Print)
will come rsn.
We hope that this will be a break thru argument for the
other vendors of CD-ROM bibliographies.
Many thanks to Peter Moser of Buchhandes Verein Germany
Bernd Stehle of /usr Software Entwicklung GmbH, and Gleen
Kessler of Reed Reference Publishing.

PS : Missing-Link is german book importer currently developing under linux.
