Fwd: ABI/INFORM Database Regenerated (SP Informational Posting)

[Kimberly Parker <kimberly.parker@yale.edu>]

Those of you who use ABI Inform, there's some new info below.  Also, the
URL code has been changed, but they only supplied info on the fulltext
revision.  I'm trying to get the non-fulltext revision.  Until then our ABI
urls will default to the database selection screen.
