Since there were lots of people interested last time we talked about getting
these files, we should probably just post information.  Somebody recently
uploaded the largest data file "wdb.1.all" to ab20.larc.nasa.gov .  The file
is located at "/amiga/graphics/images/wdb-data.lzh".  It looks like the
person who uploaded it thought he(she) was uploading both files, but only
the first file made it through.  If that person is reading this, could you
upload the second file too?

Thanks muchly,
