Dear Ms. Diana:
In light of your recent telephone conversations with Dale Barstow and Linda Day, we are pleased to
submit the following information concerning providing the Clearwater Code on disk.
FURNISIDNG CODE ON DISKETTES
MCC can provide the Code on magnetic media. Our experience with clients who request their Code
in electronic form has indicated that they want to obtain the capability to search, retrieve and amend
the text of their Code. MCC has several alternative solutions to this problem, which are explained
below.
A. Socrates. This is MCC's text search and retrieval software which is integrated with the Code
in WordPerfect or ASCII. The software affords easy "exportation" of language to your word
processing software for drafting and amendatory purposes. Utilizing your existing word
processing program eliminates learning new editing commands and allows new ordinances to
follow existing procedures.
Enclosed is a demonstration disk of the Socrates program. Please call us if you have any
questions.
B. WordPerfect. The Code can also be provided with WordPerfect 5.1 commands embedded
so that the features of WordPerfect are available. WordPerfect users may find its search
functions sufficient, and of course, the editing capabilities of WordPerfect are unsurpassed.
{~',.-"
C. ASCII. The Code can also be provided in the generic form of ASCII. ASCII can generally
. be retrieved into any word processing software, but may require more than casual knowledge
of computers and programming.
