The "Handicap News" site is full of useful references to Americans
with Disabilities Act and related legistlation, definitely something
that a good on-line searcher would know about.  --Ed

Aren't you sorry you ever asked this question? <grin>

Besides ADA, the Handicap News ftp archives also has a directory
for other disability-related legislation.  This directory is
/pub/legal and its index file reads as follows:

HR1.ZIP        10410 05-26-91  Civil Rights Act of 1991 Full Text (1/91)
JTPUB4.ZIP     24542 05-29-92  Section 504 regulations for various agencies
PERK90A.ZIP    84351 03-11-91  Perkins Voc/Appl Tech Act Amendments 1990
PL90480.ZIP     2279 07-20-91  Equal access in housing law 90:480
REHABACT.ZIP  175301 10-10-90  Text of the rehab act with search program
REHABLAW.ZIP  108386 03-11-91  Just the text of the Rehab Act
SEC508.ZIP      5146 04-14-92  Proposed new section 508 for Rehab Act

VISLAWS.ZIP   119311 03-11-91  Laws affecting the visually disabled

There are a few other files which I have not put on the archive but
I will announce these as they arrive.

There are also the guide dog laws for all 50 states, the Canadian
provinces and all US territories available in the /pub/dogs directory.

The ftp site name is handicap.shel.isc-br.com (129.189.4.184).
Login as "anonymous" and use your e-mail address as your password.
Almost all files here are in "ZIP" compressed format so be sure
that you are in binary mode (just type "binary" at the ftp
prompt).
