THOMAS R. SUNDSTROM - For those with Windows 95 and an audio system, the
new Microsoft Bookshelf 98 CD-ROM reference is now available (at least
in the USA). For Dxers seeking a source of national anthems, here it is.
Clicking on a map pops up a window with the country's flag... and an
option to play the anthem. We were surprised to find anthems for Vanuatu
and Palau amongst others in the south Pacific. (Sundstrom-NJ)
