We can propably help, check out http://ceo.gelos.org, http://ewse.ceo.org http://cils.[dlr.de, ceo.org, eoc.csiro.au, unep.org] http://gcmd.gsfc.nasa.gov We have created DC data for all of these and would propably be quite willing to 1. Put them up as one big file 2. Give simple TXT records by web access 3. Put them up as SUTR in the existing Z gateway 4. Give you direct database access whatever is usefull.
