We are now waiting on the publication of a CD-ROM covering the fruits and
seeds of all legume genera.  The Booklet and tray card for the jewel case
have been printed, and the CD-ROM itself is now being duplicated.  There
are more than 1,600 image files on the CD-ROM.  If you want to read the
publishers information, go to the following URL:
  http://www.netins.net/showcase/alurir/seeds.html

We are doing this using the DELTA software system.  The information and
imgaes are stored and manipulated through the DELTA software, and they are
access throught the interactive program INTKEY, also part of the DELTA
software system.  I highly recommend the system.
