[Dxbase] IOTA & DXBase Question

[Gary Senesac AL9A]

Or, you could also go to the IOTA web site www.rsgbiota.org and look an 
island up to get its number.  Scroll to the end of the left side column to 
the SEARCHES category and click on the Island Name link.  Follow the 
instructions to enter the island name in question and click on the Search 
button.  It saves printing out the entire IOTA database, which is constantly 
being changed and updated by the RSGB anyway.
