   On Feb 4, 1988 Mark Charette said he would be able to 
 offer IGES versions of cars. His address was

    {sun} {cbosgd!edstb}edsews!charette

   US Mail address was Electronic Data Systems
                       1400 N. Woodwards Ave
                       Bloomfield Hills MI 48013


   I sent him a cartridge tape as requested. He said later
  (much later) that GM had not been willing to part with the 
  descriptions. He never returned my tape (Are you still
  there, Mark? ;^) You might contact him, but I think the 
  bosses nixed the idea.

   PS. (this should be my .sig) Please do not post 100 "me too"
   articles when you see a request for something. Write the 
   requestor. He can forward it to you if he gets it, or post 
   if the thing ever materializes and lots of people want it.
   Notice that 43 people asked for human body descriptions but
   no one delivered?
