I don't have the spread sheet but do have the data base which was called File
Talk.  I've got the Apple versions but just need the pc version.  Never thought
I'd be looking for it <g>.  Even used to have it but its long gone.  Could even
still read either 3.5 or 5.25 disks if I had to but the pc versiou could just be
zipped up and sent.

Entry screen doesn't actually show manufacturer but does show programmer's name.
