Re: [T3] Microfiche scanning?

["Dave Hall" <dave@hallvw.clara.co.uk>]

Data-base files would be handy, but I don't know if they were linked
to the sections at all.  I think the dealer had to look at the fiche
and then ask the computer if the part number was available (usually
not!).  (See my other post).
