- According to an article in a September issue of Federal Computer Week:
-
- "The Logistics Management Institute has published a guide to electronic data
- interchange (EDI) translation software that offers information on price,
- hardware compatibility and availability on General Services Administration or
- Defense Department schedules.
-
- "The guide was developed as a reference for Defense agencies but is available
- free to any government agency in search of EDI solutions ....
-
- "'A Guide to EDI Translation Software' lists 110 commercially available EDI
- translation products from 50 vendors. It identifies 48 key features of the
- software packages, tells which of the features are offered by each vendor and
- explains which features are needed for mainframes, minicomputers and
- microcomputers.
-
- "...Federal agencies can obtain a free copy by faxing a request to
- (301) 320-5617. Others can buy the report for $20 by contacting the LMI
- librarian, 6400 Goldsboro Road, Bethesda, MD 20817."
-
- I don't have a copy of this yet -- I'm just catching up on back issues! -- but
- it looks like it might be helpful.
