Hello,
At the 1999 PIUG annual meeting, Michael Lydon gave a talk on the EPO's
INPADOC database. The good folks at the EPO Vienna office produced an
excellent CD-ROM as a companion to Michael Lydon's talk and generously
donated 250 copies of the CD-ROM to the PIUG. The contents of this disk
are described later in this message. Copies of this CD-ROM were
distributed at the PIUG meeting.

Anticipating requests from other PIUG subscribers, I requested that the EPO
produce an extra 50 copies. These extra copies are now available free on
request, first come first served. When the 50 copies are gone, that's it.

Jon Cavicchi has offered to donate the postage and person-power and
packaging supplies to mail out these extra copies of the INPADOC CD-ROM.
Due to Jon's generous donation, we do not need to charge any fee for these
CD-ROM's. They are free.

If you would like to request a copy of the INPADOC CD-ROM, please send your
name, address, phone number and email address to Jon Cavicchi. Please do
not send requests to Sandra Unger and do not send requests to the PIUG
email list.

"Jon Cavicchi" <JCavicchi@fplc.edu>

Please format your name and address as a mailing label so that Jon can
simply print the email message and use the address directly on the package.

Thanks,
Sandra Unger

Contents of INPADOC CD-ROM (companion to Michael Lydon's INPADOC lecture)
A CD-ROM will be distributed to all the participants of the PIUG Meeting in
April. In addition to containing a copy of the slide presentation from the
INPADOC lecture (versions for Windows 3.1x and Windows 95/98), the disk
contains very extensive documentation for the INPADOC database as follows:
- List of all INPADOC Legal Status Codes.
- Legal Status Code Sheets for Austria, Brazil, Germany, EPO, Spain,
France, UK, Lithuania, Netherlands, US and PCT.
- Set of INPADOC manuals (Users? Guide, PFS database, Data Formats, User
Interface and Commands, Database Contents and Structure).
- Samples of DE, EP and UK printouts from PRS.
- Samples of EP, GB and US PFS and corresponding PRS records.
- List of INPADOC commands.
- Copies of the INPADOC homepages from the EPO website.
- List of Kind Codes.
- PRS and PFS coverage lists.
Most of the documentation is in both WordPerfect and pdf format. The disk
contains Acrobat Reader software for accessing the pdf files. There are also
several indexes, a Readme file, a contacts list and INPADOC connection
information.
