SKIS v5.6 for Biodiversity Data Capture, Checklisting & Communications

|  SKIS v 5.6  |  the Six Kingdom Inventory System   |   Oct. 1995  |
*--------------*-------------------------------------*--------------*
|                                                                   |
|  Available now: SKIS_56.ZIP                                       |
|                                                                   |
|  This file contains the fully functional program SKI_IN.EXE       |
|  for data capture to create and manage taxonomic checklists.      |
|  Included are four NAMes-files with classification lists of       |
|  all Mammal and Plant families as well as all Seabird species.    |
|  For those of you new to the SKI-System we include detailed       |
|  on-line and printable documentation with examples.               |
|                                                                   |
|  Available free via anonymous FTP from:                           |
|                   garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/science                      |
|                                                                   |
|  Users can accept the Classification provided or define their     |
|  own Taxonomic Standards for projects large and small.            |
|                                                                   |
|  In building & organising annotated taxonomic checklists, SKI_IN  |
|  uses Biological Classification as an hierarchical Index; this is |
|  represented by a short and meaningful code.  SKI_INput has many  |
|  data management facilities and provides a variety of formats for |
|  the output SKI-files for printing,  for use in spreadsheets,     |
|  database programs and E-mail.                                    |
|                                                                   |
|  Uniquely, SKI-System files are updatable as the Biological       |
|  Classification evolves.  The available SKI_PLUS program and      |
|  current series of INDEX files achieve this at Family level.      |
|                                                                   |
|  The file: SKIS_56.ZIP, requires PKZIP v 2.04G to decompress the  |
|  files it contains (via garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/arcers pkz204g.exe).   |
