Ron,
 
I don't know if this will be of any help but I came across this list
while "surfing" the net. It's only part of a catatog that I have not
really explored yet, I'm still very new to the net and even newer to this
PD list. In fact, I had a heck of a time cutting and pasting this into
this reply as I didn't want to type it all. All credit for it is to Scott
Yanoff and the information is unchanged, except most of the catalog is
deleted (as the whole catalog ran 25 pages printed out on my printer)...
 
I hope it helps...
