supports over 125 graphic devices.
ANALECT DSS GRAPHICS utilizes Megatek Corporation's TEMPLATE
graphic technology. The functionality of a complete FORTRAN
graphics subroutine library is available as interactive ANALECT
commands. No knowledge of programming is needed.
ANALECT DSS GRAPHICS may be fully integrated into Dialogue's
comprehensive ANALECT DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM. This full system
features other decision support capabilities such as: statistical
and multi-dimensional analysis; report writer; financial model-
ling; relational data base management system; and application
building language.
ANALECT DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM is an interactive, comprehensive
management and systems building tool for financial, sales, pro-
d},WkK
nd marketing applications. ANALECT's powerful internal
data base management system can handle vast quantities of infor-
mation and consolidate it into meaningful data bases to meet the
requirements of any corporate department. The data is organized
in a Relational Data Base Management System.
ANALECT's range of capabilities include: multi-dimensional data
analysis; worksheet modelling and "what if" computations; fore-
casting; multivariate analysis; arima modelling; a report writer;
programming language for custom applications; and presentation

eM according to their own levels of computer skills.
Executives are prompted along with on-line menus and HELP aids.
ANALECT's report writer feature customizes reports to an executive's
specifications. Sophisticated routines to analyze marketing, financial
or production trends are built into the system for easy use. In
addition, ANALECT provides links to popular microcomputers and
spreadsheets.
ANALECT is built in self-contained modules. All modules contain
ANALECT's foundation of an interactive command language and basic
data management. This foundation also includes calculations, DSS
manipulations, display, file management, command sequences, and
on-line user reference aids.
The ANALECT foundation may be combined with a single module, or a
cluster, to create a smaller, single-function, stand-alone
specialized system. The most popular of these ANALECT systems are:
ANALECT MULTI-DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS, which allows a user to structure
data to reflect the business environment and simplify many analytical
and reporting requirements. Whole blocks of marketing, financial, or
other data can be sliced, calculated, and queried with great flexibility.
ANALECT FORECASTING provides a wide array of analysis functions,
including time-series analysis, regression and econometric model-
ling, seasonal and outlier adjustment and multivariate analysis.

specialized commands, menus, complex analysis and complete inter-
active applications for data bases of virtually unlimited size.
Users can develop entire applications in a fraction of the time
that programming languages require. It includes ANALECT/RIM, a
report writer, a system building language, and the ANALECT foun-
dation of DSS data management.
ANALECT/RIM is a new generation relational data base management
system for query and reporting. It combines a simple data struc-
ture with powerful manipulation capabilities. All data bases can
be queried, screened, merged, sorted and displayed. ANALECT/RIM
requires no programming skills. It is available as an expansion
module or as a part of the ANALECT REPORTING AND APPLICATION
System.
ANALECT FINANCIAL MODELLING worksheets are made easier by advanced
features such as prompted data entry, automatic handling of the
time dimension and hierarchical consolidation of models and data.
A menu-driven financial facility aids infrequent or novice users
to ask "what if" questions, to consolidate models, and perform
sophisticated goal-seeking or sensitivity analysis.
ANALECT software is available on a trial purchase plan or through
time sharing. Prices are available on request.

Financial Decision Systems, Inc., designs, develops, markets, and sup-
ports unique automated management information systems meeting coprorate
tax and financial needs. The company's clients are primarily large,
dZ_ Mified organizations.
FDSI was a pioneer in integrating a relational data base with a powerful
yet easy to use repertoire of commands permitting corporate decision
makers to effectively analyze the myriad of alternatives and scenarios
faced in today's fast-paced environment.
As of the end of fiscal 1983, more than 200 major corporations and
financial institutions rely on FDSI software to meet their tax and
financial information needs. Supported by highly trained staff members
in our Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York offices, FDSI meets the
challenge of serving those needs with CORPTAX, CORPTAX CALENDAR, CPATAX
CALENDAR, MICRO CORPTAX and MICRO ASSET MANAGEMENT.
CORPTAX provides corporate management with an on-line interactive man-
agement information system that has powerful user-friendly
commands, allowing evaluation of all relevant business alter-
natives. With one day's training, corporate tax and financial personnel
with no prior data processing experience will be using CORPTAX's sophis-
ticated integrated data base to easily produce tax compliance, modelling
and planning reports. Automation through CORPTAX reduces the work load
by maintaining current tax and financial logic while permitting easy
modifications so that this logic will reflect specific corporate inter-
pretations.
CORPTAX provides the necessary tools for effectively analyzing the
impact of various strategies by accepting an unlimited number of "what
if" case studies and planning scenarios. CORPTAX also includes a com-
prehensive tax accounting system. CORPTAX is the management information
system that brings everything together.

extending, and historical fact finding.
The CORPTAX CALENDAR contains a comprehensive data base comprising major
tax events for Federal and all fifty state returns. CORPTAX CALENDAR
incorporates a sophisticated Master Calendar, maintained and continu-
ously updated with applicable legal and regulatory changes by the staff
of highly qualified tax and data processing professionals at Financial

KEYWORDS: LIBRARY SERVICES
OCLC has designed and operates a bibliographic computer and telecommunications
system that supports resource sharing among libraries.
Through the OCLC Online System, institutions catalog books, serials, and other
library materials; order custom-printed catalog cards; create machine-readable
data files; maintain location information on library materials; facilitate
interlibrary lending; and place and control acquisitions orders. The system
provides bibliographic and location information to participating libraries and
produces bibliographic information in the form of magnetic tapes and printed
products.
OCLC also offers LS/2000, a local automated library system that permits
independent processing by libraries and library clusters.
OCLC has many kinds of libraries: academic, academic research, community and/or
junior college, corporate, federal, law, library school, medical, municipal
and state government, public, school, state, and theological. Directly and
indirectly, OCLC serves over 6,000 institutions. Several libraries outside the
United States, including libraries in Australia, Canada, Denmark, Finland,
France, Ireland, Mexico, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom use the OCLC
Online System.
As of April 1984, the OCLC database contained approximately 10.6 million
bibliographic records.
Although OCLC is a not-for-profit corporation, it strives to be a self-
sustaining organization. It derives its operating requirements from fees for
products and services provided to its users. OCLC does not issue stock, pay
dividends, or share profits.
