Hello Randy in N.O.,

Here is the information about Wyoming meteorites taken from the CD that
accompanies the British Catalogue. I created the document using the CD's
database in Virtual PC on my Mac, then opened it on the PC side, copied it,
then pasted it directly into this email on the Mac side.

Happy reading and searching (if that is what you have in mind).

Cheers,

Martin
