Thank you, Tim.

I was finally able to find references to "Build-A-Fish" by using the Alta
Vista web searcher at http://www.altavista.digital.com/ which was recently
recommended by a kind person,  George J. Jerry, on [log in to unmask]
mailing list.  The "Fashion-A-Fish" I only tracked a bit, it appears to be
part of educational curriculum at Aquatic WILD, which is
part of Project WILD at the Texas Parks and Wildlife Dept., 4200 Smith School Rd
,
Austin, TX 78744, 1-800-792-1112, or 512-328-6035.   It was hard to get
other than voicemail responses, I left message.  But it may not be computer
program.

        For anyone interested, the "Build-A-Fish" computer program I mentioned i
s a
product of the Virginia Marine Science Museum, and can be obtained  as
shareware from TRIP Software, P.O. Box 65534, Dundas Postal Outlet, Dundas, ON
Canada L9H6Y6, e-mail: [log in to unmask]  Program is described:  "Chose
