With the easy-to-follow menu options of the retrieval software, access to data is simple and fast. The data is well structured and the presentation is pleasant while functional. The software CD-ANSWER -- B)DATAWARE Technologies Inc. -- which comes with the CD-ROM, received the award for The Best CD-ROM Retrieval Software of 1990'. It functions in ENGLISH, FRENCH and GERMAN. There is no need to learn a complex search language The CD-ROM can be used with standard personal computer equipment (PC XT/AT or 100% compatible, minimum 512 KByte RAM and with MS-DOS/PiDOS version 3.0 and above) including a CD-ROM drive. The NATO-PCO DATABASE The NATO-PCO DATABASE -- B)WTV GmbH, Germany -- is a reference database. It covers more than 20 years of nonmilitary scientific/technical meetings and publications in the NATO ASI SERIES, sponsored by the NATO Scientific Committee. The NATO ASI SERIES -- which is the official vehicle for publication of the results of NATO Advanced Study Institutes, NATO Advanced Research Workshops and other high-level scientific/technical meetings -- is published by KLUWER ACADEMIC PUBLISHERS (The Netherlands), PLENUM PUBLISHINGCorporation (USA) and SPRINGER-VERLAG (Germany). The NATO-PCO DATABASE contains full references (with keywords and/or abstracts) to more than 48,000 contributions from international scientists of high repute. The database covers a broad spectrum of scientific disciplines: LIFE SCIENCES, ECOLOGY, MEDICINE, CHEMISTRY, GEOSCIENCES, ASTRONOMY, MATHEMATICAL AND PHYSICAL SCIENCES, BEHAVIOURAL SCIENCES, MATERIALS SCIENCES, ENGINEERING, SYSTEMS and COMPUTER SCIENCES. The AGARD AEROSPACE DATABASE This bibliographic database, generated by PCO in cooperation with NASA (USA) and AGARD (France), provides information on thousands of AGARD-sponsored publications -- conference proceedings, AGARDographs (major works of long-lasting interest), lecture series, reports and advisory reports -- published from about 1960 to 1993. As is the case for the NATO-PCO DATABASE, the AGARD AEROSPACE DATABASE includes details not only of the complete publications but also of the papers contained in them (up to 40 or more in a conference proceedings). AGARD (The Advisory Group for Aerospace Research and Development) is an agency of NATO based in Paris. Its mission is essentially to interchange information about RandD in aerospace within and between the NATO nations. AGARD's areas of activity cover: AEROSPACE MEDICINE, AVIONICS, FLIGHT MECHANICS, ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVE PROPAGATION, FLUID DYNAMICS, GUIDANCE AND CONTROL, PROPULSION AND ENERGETICS, STRUCTURES AND MATERIALS, and TECHNICAL INFORMATION. Updates are planned to appear on a yearly basis.
