Snippet Libraries
gbSnippets is distributed with three snippet libraries of general interest, containing the following information:

411.gbs	Airlines Hotels Car Rental Agencies	Area Codes Federal Agencies
entertain.gbs	Movie Recommendations Science Fiction Books
recipes.gbs	Recipes (view online)

Updates to the libraries are posted online. You can use the server synchronization features of gbSnippets to check the online libraries for upates.

If you wish, you can also manually download the latest libraries. To download a copy to your PC, use a right-mouse click and select "Save Target/Link As ...". If you just left-mouse click on the links, the file will open in your browser. The files are text, but since they are in a special format they won't be easy to read.
