- COUNTERPOINT OFFERS FIRST DAILY FEDERAL REGISTER VIA INTERNET
-
- CAMBRIDGE, MA. (Jan. 7, 1993) -- Counterpoint Publishing, Inc. today
- announced a new service providing same-day availability of the complete
- Federal Register (FR) via the Internet, the largest data communications
- network in the world. The Federal Register is an official U.S. Government
- daily publication containing all proposed and final rules and notices from
- more than 130 government agencies.
-
- The Counterpoint Federal Register service will provide the fully
- indexed text of the complete Federal Register sourced from the magnetic
- tapes provided daily by the U.S. Government Printing Office. Articles in
- the FR contain, for example, new EPA regulations, grant and funding
- opportunities, Presidential documents and hundreds of other proposals,
- rules and meeting notices each day.
-
- Counterpoint's simplified menu-driven software allows end-users to
- view the daily Federal Register by table of contents, key words in any and
- exact order, article type, full-text or heading only, agency, date or range
- of dates or citation. The software does not require graphical interfaces,
- a mouse or function keys, thus making it easy to use on a variety of
- computing platforms such as IBM-compatibles, Macintosh(tm), Unix(tm),
- VMS(tm), etc. Routine searches can be stored add replayed. Documents in
- the FR are exportable in ASCII format with text exportable to E-mail, any
- word processor, or printer.
-
- Counterpoint will also provide alternative access to the Federal
- Register to better address the unique needs of the Global Internet
- community. Using such distribution and access mechanisms as Usenet News
- (NNTP), Mail (SMTP), Gopher, WAIS and the World Wide Web, Counterpoint will
- provide the daily Federal Register in the most cost efficient and timely
- manner possible, using the most up to date and powerful tools available to
- the network user.
-
- The new Counterpoint service is provided through arrangement with
- Internet.COM - Internet Consulting Services of Cambridge, MA., helping
- providers of goods and services develop commercial presence on the Global
- Internet.
-
- Counterpoint is the nation's leading publisher of federal source
- documents in electronic formats. Several thousand customers now use the
- weekly CD-ROM version of the Federal Register instead of the hardbound
- paper version. Counterpoint also introduced recently the complete U.S.
- Code of Federal Regulations on Compact Disc. This product will also be
- made available to the Global Internet in the future.
-
