Dear Geoff and Fellow Taxacomers

Win_something biological museum collection program."

How about "Platypus - A database package for Taxonomists"  Operating
system Windows 3.1, 3.11, NT or 95.  On CD-ROM or DISC.  Produced by
CSIRO Australia, available from:  "sales at publish.csiro.au"  or refer to
demo on:  http://www.ento.csiro.au/platypus/platypus.html.

Looks good!  Does anybody have working experience of it - we're
contemplating purchase for the Entomology Section, National Museums of
Scotland.
