SUBJECT: Meeting
1. We discussed possible locations of the CP/M unit. The major
concern was maintaining a temperature below 90?and placing the unit
in a well ventilated area. A final decision was made that the CP/M
unit will be placed in the Underwriting Section's front office.
2. Mike explained that everyone who will be using the Wang will
have to be scheduled for training classes (AL-10). The approximate cost
per person is $175.00.
3. CSA will be sending a representative (Brenda) to give us a
preinstallation briefing. She will be briefing us on the preparations
for our Wang. It will cover cable installation rec{uirements and cost
figures. She also will be going over in detail training requirements
for the Systems Administrator and the back-up Systems Administrator.
4. We went over several features offered by the Wang Alliance 250.
They included:
Glossary -
A storage representative. This also
includes the Math Support Package. This
enables the user to check calculations.
Word Processing - This feature edits, prints and files documents.
This includes automatic centering, indenting
and decimal alignment, automatic title and
page numbering, hyphenation. Editing capabil-
ities are the insertion and deletion of
characters, words, lines, paragraphs or entire
sections.
Spell Verifier - This checks for misspelled words in a word
processing document using a system dictionary.
It consists of an 80,000-word dictionary.
In addition, "personal" dictionaries can be created
for words that are not in the 80,000-word
system dictionary.

Visual Memory -
This feature enables the user to define,
enter., save and retrieve various pieces
of information contained in documents.
This becomes useful for time management
tasks. This includes work schedules,
personal calendars, scheduling and keeping
track of leave.
Document Retrieval - With minimal keystrokes documents can be
located by whole or partial word, or multiple
words found in the document summary.
5. Finally, we discussed the required cable installation time needed
and we concluded that our approximate delivery date for our Wang precedes
the cable installation date. Therefore, it was proposed that the Wang '
delivery date by delayed. If all goes well with the cable installation, the
System hook-up date is tentatively scheduled for mid December.
