This document is the September 1985 inaugural issue of the combined DECUS U.S. Chapter SIGs Newsletters. Previously distributed as individual newsletters, these publications have been bundled into a single monthly document to provide information across multiple special interest groups (SIGs) at a lower subscription rate.
The document includes:
- A General Table of Contents listing various special interest groups, including APL, Artificial Intelligence, Business Applications, Commercial Languages, Data Management, Datatrieve, Education, Graphics, Hardware Micro, IAS, Languages & Tools, Large Systems, MUMPS, Networks, Office Automation, Personal Computer, RSTS, RSX, RT-11, Site Management & Training, and VAX Systems.
- An introductory letter from the Communications Committee Chair and SIG Council Chair, explaining the rationale behind the new combined publication format.
- Individual sections for each SIG, providing specific updates, technical articles, and steering committee listings.
- Forms and Questionnaires at the back for submitting articles, ordering subscriptions, and providing feedback to various SIGs.
