Software for review
27 April, 1993
Subject: Computer Software for Review
As the Software Review Editor for the ACS Journal of
Chemical Information and Computer Science (JCICS) I often get
software for review in the journal. I now have some packages in
hand (see below) and I am looking for people who are willing to
review the software. In return for the review you get to keep
the software. The review should be completed in 1-2 months. The
length of the review is 4-10 double spaced typed pages. Sample
reviews can be found in most of the recent issues of JCICS.
I have tried this approach with some software for review in
the past few months and it is working reasonably well. (For those
who haven't finished your reviews of software sent a few months
ago, this last sentence does not apply to you!) As a result, I
am continuing this new method to find reviewers using this e-
mail/user group system. I hope it continues to work. I reserve
the right to abandon this if it is a problem, or inappropriate.
I will not notify people if I have found a reviewer. If you
don't hear from me I have chosen someone else to review the
particular package.
As I get many, many, (too many) replies to this message,
please do not respond after 28 April, as I am sure the software
will be gone by then.
I can be reached on INTERNET (SRHELLER { *at * } ASRR.ARSUSDA.GOV),
or if necessary, by phone at 301-504-6055 or FAX at 301-946-2704.
PLEASE BE SURE TO INCLUDE AN STREET ADDRESS, PHONE and FAX
NUMBER!!! (I send the software by Federal Express.)

The packages I now have are:
1. LabAdvisor - IBM PC Regulatory Information database from the
ACS. This is the complete LabADVISOR package with all modules.
This helps you keep track of regulatory requirements for
chemicals in the lab.
2. Ami-Pro 3.0 for windows.
