Public Records Office Victoria (PROV) inquest index CD-ROM - available?

I can see on Provic a body card for Charles Wishart in 1963

Yes, I have that one, but it's the actual inquest I'm after - the body card refers to various items that it doesn't actually contain; I'm hoping that the inquest will have them...

Yes it was aimed more for sparrett in case she couldn't locate it on the CD

Intrigued to know what you're working on with these?

OK, updates...

1) Ordered and received the CD-ROM from Macbeth - very helpful indeed, filled in a lot of gaps in my research. Many errors in the info on the disc, but nothing too major...

2) Ordered and received the Wishart inquest - and as with more than a few of the PROV holdings, there's an anomaly: in this case, the purported photo of the accident site (taken a few days later) is actually from a completely different (and unknown) inquest, and doesn't depict the area I was after. Happens more often than you'd think!

3) PROV have finally updated their site, and it's addressed / fixed most of the issues with the previous version of the site. The Macbeth CD-Rom is now effectively redundant (although I'm still glad to have gotten it - it was very useful at the time!)

4) No longer have a day job, so have been able to devote more time to my various research projects

Hi,
Interesting news Keats.
It is wonderful how our information sources are continually evolving.
Speaking of errors in files reminded me of the numerous times I have sought a will which are digitised through provic.

I have downloaded the file only to find that it does not belong to the person indexed.

Someone has put  the one I want into the wrong envelope. Gone!

Ah well, it is all just part of the joy.
