In answer to your question: 
> Does anyone know what the current entry population is for all the Internet
> reachable DSAs in the world?  Broken down by project (i.e. Paradise, PSI,
> etc...)?  The last number I saw was in Kille's book back in 1991.

I have a similar knowledge interest.  The best I have been able to obtain
has come from the PARADIS reports.  The latest figures (Nov, 92) are:
450 DSAs world wide at a growth rate of 150 DSAs per year
830,000 entries world wide

The report does provide a couple of breakdowns of these figures (eg. by
country).

If you get any useful material please forward it on to me.  I am running a
Directory simulation and would like to grow it to world scale.
