CHI 9-JAN-73 17:03 13749 Response to (Journa~. 13741,), TNLS-like address expressions in DNLS
~he plan is still to p ut TNLS - llke address expressions into DNLS. The problem Is that the current TNLS address expreAsion is not consistent with links (one would like to use an expression where a na~e or nu_ber or SIn or marker I s now used . TNLS now forces one to use a period before na.es or nu~bers or SID's. r have proposed a new e xpress ion syntax, which was not I.mediately accepted . I plan to push harder, soon. Charles.

While It is v aluable to have a bug r epo rtIn g " system " as descrIbed by Kirk In ( 13732,), it should be noted that such a dat a base has been In ex~stence slnce last summe r and was announced by Diane Kaye in ( l0869, ).
Wh il e it may be too much to expect that everyone knows abou1: 1:he previ o us system , It is probably not too much to expect the propGsal o~ any new system to those a~~ec1:ed by it (in thls case, NLS prog ramm e rs, the NLS bug coordina1:ors ( OSK and myse l~), and the Dperations manag er JCN} o~ Its lmplementa1:lon be~ore

We could have avoided the duplication o~ data bases and the prolite ration ot journal g roup idents.
Another cri1:1cism-- these tiles should not be In the NLS directory . R~ ther, the MSR directory, repository o~ the old baseline and , hope~ully, 01 the new baseline, is a1:i il appt"Dpria te.
More posit vely, though , the idea 01 having the Journal deal wIth the reports I s good , hut r see no reason to have a human intermediary receiVe the messages and transmit them to the 1 ite. Why not have two Ilident" ~iles io MSR whose Journal branches will receive mail 10r either BOGS or NP as appropriate. As actIon Is token on these Items, they could he moved Jnto the appropriate branches in the ~ile (I.e., beIng designed, implemented, tested, e1.c. )

BACKGROUND: t
Th e g overnment runs on torms.. ThIs may b e less true J n an R&:D envi ronment than some other places, however there is a forlll at RADC whJch one can use to order other ~or~s ..
There are o.f.flces which do nothing but desi g n forms .. what cri terip they use in desl g n lna themt however {t
I do not know is clear t hat
they do no1. t in most insta. nces , have computer output in mInd . 1 b
NL S Is desi g ned to handle ~ree text . Jt lR di£~lcult t l~ not impos s lhle to create an NL S statement which will be properly printed OLlt on a £orm which has been preprinted Lor typewriter use .. In a d dition , th e r e a r e a number of lIne ~eeds t file names, dates, etc. wh ich typIcally are p rinted ou t p r i or to printing the content 01 an NL S 1Jl e , which make re g istration of the form impossible . lc
There are' a number 01' :forms in use a.t RAnC whlcb have information which I s 01 tastin g value. The Information con~ent of these forms can noy be prepared , coordlnated , revIewed , and edited using NLS. When the f'inal Version 1.5 obtalned t however , they must be retyped by a sec.-etary on a oor .. al o.flice typewriter b efore they can be sent to till? ou~side world. (am unsure of the additional amount 0-1 "01"1< this creates . 1 have seen instances where a secretory spends as much as 4 hours on one toro that mus -t be lett",r perfect . Id
.w ore important than the manhnurs which would he saved, is the data bases ~hat would be "automatically" created , which would be use1ul to mana g ement and en g I n eers alike . This i s particullar~y true in the procurement area , where manag ers need to know the rate at wbich money Is bein g acquired, committed and ex p ended. ld1
REQur RENENT: 2
A re q uirement I?xlsts tor a g eneral purpo s e forms packa g e which wi 1 1 allow the des criptJon of a -Iorm , the creatjon a.nd editIn g o£ the form, and the pr i nting of the r.orm . 2a

In addition one ShO\lld be able to specify any Inrormatian wblch Is preprinted on the form which indJcates the nature o~ the response expected from the in d ividual filLin g out the ~orm . It is a l so deslreable for error checkJng purposes, but not w)saioutly necessarY t to indIcate thp type or data that is expected in the boxes~ ie , a p articular charac1.er (X) , numerlc data only, alpha d ata oilly, alphRnumeric data , e tc . 2 al

Form crea~ion includes the initial fitLln g in at the blanks in the form (this may be done by several people who are not in the same of~ice), coordination or the form through the chain of command, editing aod otherwise chang in g the content of the form and indicatin g approval (now accompl.lshed by sl g niture) . Some forms may hBve ~o be recalLed at a later date (several months) and inf.ormation added to them . 20.2
Printin g o~ the form Jncludes ~he insertion o~ a preprinted ~orm Into the p rinter , re g jstration of the £orm accordin ~ to some predet e rmined rules, loadin g the approp r iate ~ile, issuin g the print command, the actual printing and removal o~ the form ~rom th~ printcr. 2 0. 3
DesJ g n Criteria: ~
As In all NL S susystems Bnd commands , the forms packag e should be as easy to us~ as possjblc. In many instances administrative people wiLL be the ones ~jllJng out the forms and printin g them out. 3 a

PROCEDURES :
1 am essentlolly
A number of q uestions 01 procedure arise before a £orms package can be smoothly Integ rated into the RADC working environment . These may have some Impact on 1he design o~ the package.
Walter Bass made a suggestion that the ~orms mi g ht be ~illed out in an Interactive Il'Iodl" j ie, thot the p repr-inted information associated with the first hox would be prInted out at the terminalt the user would ~ill In his data, the second box wo uld be automaticolly displayed, tbe user woulu fill out this, and so on to the end of the rorm . Along with this goes the i dea that error checks would be made i mmed iately ~or tile data in each box and the user noti.fled it h is input violated some 0-1' the rules i'or thot box ..
An ulternative would be to have the user ~ill out the entire form and only have the errors checked when it was printed out via the ODF (or slmiliar) command.
I have no particular p reLerence for one alternative or the othe r.. The f irst is somewhat " sex ier lt and has the advantage 0" immedi ate ~eedback to the user. The second has (I think) the advantage o'l simpler programmjng. r would ten d to favor the

second approach for the first g o around at creatin& the package and then i:f guccess1'ul we might think about addi ns the sex later.
1£ the second approach is taken, then a :fur~her questlon a rls es . Sllould the user insert his data \IRing the l[nsert] T[ext] command immediately foltowl n g the prep ri nted information or sho ul d he Lnsert hls data usLng the I [nsert] S[tatement] down a level?
I tend to favor the [[nsert] T[extJ method si n ce some o:f the preprin·ted In formation wi lt be "dummy" sta t ements and wl11 not requl r e datR .froJll t he user .. To help eliminate confuslon , the user cou l d be instructed to fill in informatIon only atter thnse s tatements which are terminated by a colon (:). Dummy Rtatements would not be terminated with a colon .
The questIon of how to to be addressed . This use o~ 8 "buck'l slip . and Initials the buck
pass a ~ile u p the chaln of command needs i s cu rrently accompl I shed manually by the Each person on the list reviews the rorm
s ti p indicating he has seen the ~o rm .
The message system In TENEX could be u sed for this p ur pose . Each person in turn would be responsible for sending a message to the ne~t individual In lI n e . The fact that he se n t that message would indicate he had read the form and would be the equi v alent of in itia ltjn ~ the buck slIp. This app r oach relY8 upon each individual's initiatlve in looking at his message fite freque n tly , loading the app r opriate fIle and r eadin g it. It would su.f.fer ""I"om the same problem a.s an ''In-baske"t''; namely, peop l e tend to let: t:hem fill up until some one presures them t o move a particular piece 01 mail fo rward .
The .Journal system could be used, however it is not desi g ned 1'or serial distribution of fIles. I't w()uld seem bes t to wait u ntil tbe 'fo 'r m had cleared through all. the r evlewers in the hranch be'fore SUbmitting it to the .Journal . rt would be most convenient jf
which a ll cuvad "there was a subsystem (perhaps under the journal) the user to spec i fy who should look at the form
(or any other pIece o~ co rr espondance ) and In wha~ o r der. The subsystem would 8.u t omaticall.y "-forward" the form to the next person in line it the person reviewing the ~orm put his initials in a prescribed box . An " expedite" option would he use~ull, which would Interupt the next person in tine 1~ he was on the system . [t would also be desireable if the originator (o r anyone else) could access the suh9y~tem and determine who had signed off on th e torm and when.
Anothe r quest io n arises of how t o handle si g nl tures in the system.

Dirk Van Nouhuys was r ecently des i g nAted 0.8 my teacher and we planned to meet three times a week for onc hour . However, this has not worked out v ery well because we either do not have a termInal or cannot eet t ogaed into the system at 4 : 00 pm (which wa~ a convenient time for both of us). r will try to structure thI s with Dirk so that Jt workH more e~~ectlvely .
Jeanne North, Dirk Van Nouhuys, Marilyn Auerbach, Ji.

Below is a partial list o.t wha~ I feel are necessary traJnlnp r eq uirements needed for me to be able to fu nction e.tfectlvely at ARC and to p r oduce the ReBource Notebook . These are lollowed by my main Bources o ~ help or in1'or llla1ioll:
