    library accounts.  The Task Group feels that xhier of the software to

3.  Additional Agenda

    There was no additional agenda.

4.  CANSIM

    Chris Leowski e-mailed Doug Morton today with some answers to 
    questions that have been asked of him.  He stated that he thinks that
    it will be okay for us to port the software to other UNIX platforms
    on campus and that if there is a charge for porting, it would be a 
    reasonable amount.  He also stated it was basically us to us how we 
    provide access to the EPAS software, except distributing it beyond 
    what's specified in the license agreement.  The manuals are available 
    in WP 5.2 for Windows version or MS Word Version 2.0a. and can be 
    modified to reflect local setup.  The only requirement is that we 
    retain the copyright notice.

5.  Census

    There was nothing to report regarding Census.

6.  GSS

    Debbie Tytko reported that Cycle 8 of GSS is available.  There was some
    question as to whether this data had been FTP'd to LIBRARY.  To avoid
    missing this Cycle, Debbie will try to FTP it to EISLIB2.

7.  UW-EDS Service Configuration

    Doug Morton and Sue Moskal have been asked to attend a P&PG meeting
    next week to discuss the Public Service Component of the University of
    Waterloo Electronic Data Services (UW-EDS).  They will also stress 
    the requirements of the EDS Office (Room 222).  They will take this
    opportunity to update the members of P&PG on what has been accomplished
    to date by the Electronic Data Service Working Group. ie. CANSIM, GSS.


Next meeting is schedules for September 21, 1994, 1:30 pm LIB 428
