Flora Online was established by Richard H. Zander,
January 12, 1987, to address a perceived need for publication of
electronically searchable botanical text and MicroSoft Disk Operating System
executable programs. It is first electronic journal to receive an ISSN number
from the Library of Congress: ISSN 0892-9106. Between 1987 and its last appearance on Nov. 18,
1993, Flora Online was issued, cumulatively, on 13 5.25-inch diskettes
through mail subscription, while also being offered gratis through the
download capabilities of the Buffalo Museum of Science's Taxacom Bulletin
Board System (1987 to 2001), a precursor in name of the popular and
long-lived Taxacom listserver operated by James Beach and Peter Rauch. Although found useful by many botanists for electronic
publication of text and programs, Flora Online was superceded by the World
Wide Web. The present archive allows free downloading of Flora Online
publications in the form presented on the original diskettes. PKZIP is
required to extract many of the programs, and MS-Dos or an emulator is
required to execute them (also Ashton-Tate's DBase III or the 1990 version of
Delta may be required - libraries should be asked to archive such essential
programs). The text files are in ASCII. A summary of the material issued as Flora Online
publications is given below (and also in the original index file named
"foindex.txt"). Click on the Disk citations below to download them. CUMULATIVE INDEX TO "FLORA ONLINE" (ISSN 0892-9106) An
