DDA ADP Control Officers Meeting. The DDA ADP Control
Officer had a meeting of DDA office-level ADP Control Officers on
24 January. The primary purpose of the meeting was to hand out
our 1985 terminal call (3 days after they were due back to ODP)
and to review access requirements to 4C and PRIM. There were
also a number of word processing (WP) questions that surfaced
which were not answered and will be formally asked of ODP for
response at a future meeting. Some of the WP questions were:
(1) What is the procedure and cost for a Wang terminal to
interface with VM for the service provided on
1 March? What type of USERID is required?
(2) What additional VM capabilities are planned for the
Wang? Can a Wang terminal replace a Delta Data?
(3) What WP capabilities are planned for the Delta Data
terminal?
(4) Will a Wang terminal be able to interface with GINS II?
(5) Will there be a Wang Users Group? There doesn't seem
to be a satisfactory method of communicating new Wang
capabilities and user experience. (U/AIUO-ODP ONLY)
