Note:
My goal is a spare, consistent listing for each vendor.
Since the FAQ Part 4 lists details of the various systems,
my idea for this FAQ is more of a directory with easy to
find and read entries. If you are interested, I have
this data available in a data base format, either
.DBF .WDB comma or Tab delimited. (Maybe even .WKS)

The Format (as much as possible) is:

Company Name; Contact Person: Voice Phone
Mailing Address; w/ country
Products; Fax #
EMail Addr; Web Page
One Line description (approx 64 char)
