INFOODS INFORMATION SYSTEMS WORKING PAPERS
These working papers document the development history of the interchange system and its various components. This manual is intended to replace them, and contains information which is more complete and fully developed. The original working papers do, however, contain more discussion about the reasons for particular decisions than the present manual.
