Does anyone know whether any of the Encyclopedias that
are offered on CD ROM are available to NeXT users?
I know, for example, that Grolier's is available in
versions for the Mac and PC Clones. Is it available,
or can it be used, with the NeXT?

I would ideally like to get a decent encyclopedia
(perhaps Grolier's or Compton's) on CD ROM for the
NeXT with a pre-generated index for Digital Librarian,
but I would be interested as well in whether the NeXT
can read, for example, the Grolier's that is available
for the Mac. I haven't paid a lot of attention to
the information about NeXT CD ROM support, I'm afraid.
