What is the GeoInfo Database, and why should I care?
The Geos Information Database started out in life as a FAQ similar to this one many years ago. It eventually grew too large to properly maintain, so it was converted to an on-line AOL database. It currently has over a thousand entries detailing every Geos related problem, hint, and tip imaginable. Occasionally plain text versions of the GeoInfo Database are made available to the general public. Recently Steve Main made an E-book version, and Jon Frisby (logical@ix.netcom.com) has made a copy available via several VBBS networks. James Bearden, the previous author of this FAQ, had made a WWW version available, and both the text and E-book versions are available via FTP at ftp://members.aol.com/geoinfo. With the demise of the Geoworks Forum on AOL, the GeoInfo was assimilated into the NewDeal website, but can’t be retrieved from there anymore.
