It has come to the attention of the DECUS Library that many people outside of the United States have the understanding that the DECUS CDROMs are not to be sent outside the U.S. This is not entirely correct. Several of the early CDROMs created by the Library have programs that are of a nature restricted by the U.S. Government. These CDROMs cannot be sent out of the U.S. at all. However, the Library, upon finding this out, has been making sure all future CDROMs can be distributed outside the United States. The CDROMs 6 and on can be obtained outside the U.S. through the DECUS Chapters. I have attached the abstracts for CDROMS 6, 7, and 8.

What may be causing some confusion is the fact that the DECUS symposium registration people will not sell CDroms to non-Americans when they register. It was possible however to buy the CDroms at the library booth on site regardless of who you are. I tried to find out why this is at the Atlanta symposium, but no-one could tell me (not even the people at the library booth).
