Jim Baen (of Baen Books) is looking for (previously published) stories
about or backgrounded by major eco-catastophes caused by giant meteor
strike (eg 'dinosaur killer').  He's being a little cryptic about *why*
he wants these (I have my suspicions, but..)  The general idea is something
like the falling of the 'foot' in "Footfall", or "Lucifer's Hammer",
("The Dinosaurs Look Up"? :-)  but in short story or at most novelette
length.
   I can't think of any less than book length myself ("When Worlds Collide"?)
but if you can, mail me the relevant details (author, title, and if possible
where first published) and I'll forward the whole mess off to Jim.  I'll
post a list here, too, if you're interested.
   Thanks.

(Why do they call it a signature file if I can't actually *sign* anything?)
