I received, from a corporate librarian in Los Angeles, a clipping
from the _Los Angeles Times_  9/10/92 p.B3-B4 entitled " 'An
Honest History,' Borne of the Misery of War" about an electronic
database created by a Vietnam vet covering American armed
conflicts.  It also has a database on Japanese-American
experiences during World War II.

I dialed in to see what was there and there is a lot, including
an online chronology of the Vietnam War (Lydia, do you remember
who wanted that?).

I downloaded some of the menus and they are listed below.  The
phone number for the database is 310-373-6597, no parity, 8 data
bits, 1 stop bit, full duplex, ansi terminal emulation.  Voice
phone is 310-530-0177.  The database owner, according to the
article, is "former Army Lt. Phillip Coleman...[who] survived two
artillery attacks on his communications unit in Bien Hoa,
Vietnam, in 1970."
