EDGAR Database Available

The preliminary Internet release of the EDGAR database is now available
from Town.Hall.Org, as well as 1993 data from the Federal Reserve Board. 
The initial release of information supports the electronic mail and
anonymous FTP interfaces.

For anonymous FTP, use your FTP software to go to town.hall.org and log in
as "anonymous."  Enter your electronic mail address for the password. 
Look in the edgar directory for the file named general.txt and read it.

If you are using electronic mail, send mail to mail@town.hall.org and enter
the word "HELP" in the body of the message.  You will receive back a copy
of the general help text.  If you would like the general information on
EDGAR, you would enter the following command in the body of the message:

        send edgar/general.txt

Easy enough?  You bet!  This initial release of information is rough and
ready ... don't expect a huge amount of user support or navigational aids.
 Over the next few months, we'll be  adding gopher and WWW interfaces,
full text searching and Z39.50 searches, improved navigational and summary
files,  and a variety of other user-friendly services.

 **   BECAUSE THIS IS A RESEARCH PROJECT YOU SHOULD EXPECT
      THE DATA FORMATS TO CHANGE, THE ACCESS METHODS TO 
      CHANGE, AND YOU SHOULD EXPECT FLUCTUATIONS IN THE
      NUMBERS AND TYPES OF USERS AND SERVICES SUPPORTED.
      DO NOT BECOME ADDICTED TO YOUR FAVORITE PROTOCOL OR 
      YOU MAY HAVE TO GO COLD TURKEY.  THIS DATA IS PROVIDED 
 **   AS-IS WITH NO WARRANTIES OR GAURANTEES OF ANY KIND.

This project is by funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation 
to the New York University School of Business in conjunction with the
