These reports are available in full electronic form in this directory. If a report has not been placed in this directory, you can obtain a copy by calling or sending e-mail to Sally Robinson, email srobin@cerc.wvu.wvnet.edu. This work has been sponsored by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), under Contract No. MDA972-88-C-0047. All files exist in PostScript format which can be sent directly to any postscript printer. The resulting printout will contain the full text, formatting, and graphics the author origionally intended. Two versions of each report exist in this directory. A PostScript version with the extension .ps and a compressed PostScript version with the extension .ps.Z Both compressed and uncompressed versions contain exactly the same information but the compressed file will take less storage space. You must have an uncompress utility if you transfer the .ps.Z version of the report. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- RESEARCH NOTES (RN) SERIES (These papers/presentations are not refereed) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ***** 1990 ***** CERC-TR-RN-90-001 "Engineering Information System: A Comparison", by R.
