I would reccomend you contact WAIS Inc.
John Durhing, or Brewster Kahle (brewster@wais.com)

have put up several "for pay" services.

Try talking to Dorthea Palsho or Skip Grossman at Dow Jones (609-520-4000).
They have several "Wall Street Journal" packages now.

The DJ product is more like an interactive product.

After doing a few simple services, select the WAIS Inc selection and
get a list of the other services rendered.
