Description:
The Office of Research and Development's Electronic Bulletin Board System (BBS or ''Board") is designed to facilitate the exchange of technical information and ORD products among EPA Headquarters, laboratory and Regional staff and contractors; States; other Federal agencies, universities, industry, and the public. It is easy to use and requires little computer expertise. The BBS offers • an electronic message system, • brief bulletins with information about ORD products and activities, • files for downloading, • participation in conferences (subject-oriented subsets of the BBS), and • online databases for identifying ORD publications. This guide is an overview of the major components and capabilities of the BBS. In addition to this guide, there is online help for each command. To use help once you are on the system, type H followed by a space and then the first letter of the command. There is also a file (HELP.ZIP) on the BBS that you can download to your computer (see page 17 for instructions on how to download). The file contains the text of all help screens for the BBS, except for the Database which has its own help file.
