PRINTING AND PHOTOGRAPHY DIVISION
WEEKLY REPORT FOR PERIOD ENDING
3 February - 9 February 1983
I. Items or Events of Major Interest that have Occurred During the
Preceding Week
A. DDI Support: With the installation of the two APS-Micro 5 Photo-
typesetters at ;6 Headquarters, the Office of Current Production and
Analytic Support, Current Support Group (O/CPAS/CSG) is accelerating plans
to produce the National Intelligence Daily (NID) in a typeset format via
ETECS. This new system will replace the present product produced on NBI
and IBM Mag Card typewriters. In anticipation of full conversion to ETECS,
plans are also underway to locate ETECS terminals and printers in the Op-
eration Center for on-line use to input and edit articles for the NID.
B. National Intelligence Council (NIC) Support: The ETECS Mini-Edit
System is currently being used for production of most National Intelligence
Estimate (NIE) drafts in support of the NTC. Volume is increasing for this
requirement, and P$PD is investigating the possibility of relocating a
high speed data printer to seventh floor, Headquarters, to support the draft
production. Diablo printers are currently in place, but are susceptible to
frequent breakdowns due to their heavy use.
C. Camex to Atex Interface: The bilateral interface between the Camex
Proformer an the ter system has been installed. Data for complicated
forms and charts can now be processed in an edit environment on the Atex
system; and subsequently, linked to the Camex unit for inclusion in forms
design.
D. Atex - VM Bi-Sync Line: Software has been delivered by Atex, which
is required to complete the transmission loop between Atex and VM. At
present, material processed on VM can be transmitted to Atex but not vice
versa. Testing for this portion of the link is being coordinated with ODP
and should be complete within the next two weeks.
