The computers offered in this agreement, as well as the programs that TI has created to use with them, are tools that can help people better manage the information used in their business; but tools - including TI computers - cannot replace sound judgment nor make the manager's business decisions. Consequently, TI cannot warrant that its systems are suitable for any specific customer application. The manager must rely on judgment of what is best for his or her business. Preface The DX10 3270 Interactive Communications Software (lCS) provides a 990 family computer with the DX10 operating system to emulate the operation of a subset of the IBM .3270 Information Display System. This emulation allows an ICS-supported video terminal, or any DX10-supported sequential output device, to receive data from an IBM host application program. When an ICS display station receives the data, the operator can read, delete, or modify it, then send it back to the host application.

The directory is divided into six major sections. The first section is a research summary that provides a concise description of how the information included in the direct9xy was derived. It contains ipformation regarding training needs experienced by most facilities, cost of implementing computerized operations, problem areas frequently experienced by facilities, software applications, and so on. Section 2 provides an introduction to computer use as well as applications that specifically apply to many facility operations. Of particular interest may be the information describing the key steps involved in selecting a system for a facility as well as integrating it into existing operations. Sections 3,4, and 5 are designed primarily to provide readers with specific information on the hardware being used by facilities, software ratings, names and addresses of agencies and contact persons willing to share their expertise, and related information.
