Note:
  My goal is a spare, consistent listing for each vendor.  Since
  the FAQ part 4 lists details of the various systems, my idea for
  this FAQ is more of a directory with easy to find and read entries.
  If you are interested, I have this data available in a data base
  format, either .DBF or Tab delimited. 

The Format (as much as possible) is:
  
  Company Name; Contact Person;  Voice Phone
     Mailing Address (including country)
     Products
     Email Address ; FAX number
     One line description (64 char?)
