----------------------------Original message---------------------------- After seeing the announcement of the FGDC manual I called the committee to ask why it had not come through the depository program. The representative, a very nice guy, said that he didn't know and that the manual had been printed through the GPO. GPO says that they goofed, the manual slipped through the cracks. They later printed instructions for obtaining the manual in Admin Notes. Unfortunately, I don't know about the other publications. We'll take this up with both groups at CUAC, the Cartographic Users Advisory Committee, when we meet in October. Melissa Lamont University of Connecticut [log in to unmask]
