Perhaps one could
Join, with credit card subscription Say, 30gbp p/a
Search, charged at an hourly rate Say, 3gbp per hour
Download Say, 50p per record
But I have never used PLD so I do not know what units it works in. And the
suggested rates may be derided both by those who consider them quite
insufficient, and those who consider them insupportable. NEcks were made
for sticking out.
I note that COPAC downloads by email: and I note that it works quicker on
Telnet.....
