Hi
I have "The World Factbook 1988" CD published by Quanta Press, and I was 
wondering what format the cardfile was it.  Apparently, it is mostly in
ASCII, but, between sections, there are some wierd things.  The reason I ask 
is that we (the business I work for) would like to have our own retreival
software (i.e. not use the retreival software provided), but to do this, we
need to know how the file was created.  In the documentation, it says that it
is in 'High Sierra' format.  Anyone know what this means??  Any help (via 
email, please) would be greatly appriciated.

Dave
