To
enable DCU build a clear picture of academic requirements, we
invite prospective SAS users to e-mail any SAS software requirements
which they may have to their local systems administrators (see
below). We realise that requirements may not be firmed-up at
this stage but even tentative information would be helpful to
our planning process. It would be very helpful if SAS functions/modules
could be specified with the DCU courses & modules which
might use them. The information specified will also assist us
in defining staff training requirements
