According to the docs, you can also define a 'Global' database in 
interchange.cfg, which will be available to all catalogs served by the IC 
installation.  I have never tried it, and there are no working examples in 
the docs that I can find, and no mention of the default location of the 
source text files for databases of this kind, etc.  Perhaps someone else on 
the list has actually done it and can provide some details.
