I just started using the KR Information OnDisc and like it.  It includes all
of the sources from the Directories of Research Grants, Biomedical Research
Grants, and Grants in the Humanities.  The thing I like is that you can
tailor your search, similar to the way you tailor a search on SPIN or IRIS.
This saves a lot of time reading through the paper directory, and for this
reason, as I am a one-person office, it is worth the money to me.  P.S.  It
is very user friendly.  I have been using it for a couple of months and
haven't yet had to read anything in the manual.
