DIGITAL DATA BASE AVAILABILITY 



The National List of Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands is 

 maintained in a microcomputer data base. This data base was 

 created to track and document the decisions made by the Regional 

 Interagency Review Panels and to facilitate generation of National, 

 regional and State reports. 



Regional subdivisions of the data base and a suggested data base 

 management system are available on floppy diskettes from Colorado 

 State University as self-directed tutorials. A description of the 

 tutorials and procedures for ordering are given below. 



WE 101 13 Regional Subdivisions of National List of Plant Species 

 That Occur in Wetlands Data Base 



This self-directed tutorial includes a data base handbook and a 

 regional subdivision of the data base information on floppy disks 

 in ASCII format. You use your own IBM-compatible microcomputer and 

 data base management system to store and manipulate the regional 

 information. This data base was developed using QUICKTEXT 

 software. We recommend the use of QUICKTEXT (see QT100) for 

 managing the wetland databases. The data base of 6,728 plant 

 species is contained in 13 regional subdivisions. The number of 

 plant species in each region is given below. The course is offered 

 for IBM AT/XT compatible computers running MS-DOS 2.0 or higher. 

 Storage requirements to load and operate an entire regional data 

 set range from 2-7 floppy diskettes. Tuition: $150/course 

 (regional subdivision) .
