Don't know what you mean by the above, but...

I have scanned the LCTGM into a three field database, and the same is available via telnet. Walt Henry at Stanford SGML parsed it and the URL is http://palimpsest.stanford.edu/lex/lctgm/lctgm.html.

LC name and subject authorities are available on CD-ROM. AAT is available, etc.

Sorry if I missed the gist of the conversation.
