FB96 ADMINISTRATIVE MAINFRAME (CICS) TRANSACTIONS, 1988-1995 Boston College Fact Book, 1995-1996 Contact: factbook@bc.edu Date Posted: Jun 26 1995 ================================================================ NOTE: Due to the width of this table in the printed edition of the Fact Book and the limited width that Gopher can display legibly on the screen, the right half of this table has been separated and is shown BELOW the left half (after the row of plus signs (+++++)). The two halves of the table can be easily reassembled in a spreadsheet program if desired. For instructions on how to do this see the folder "Moving Fact Book Tables to MS Excel" in the main menu of the Gopher edition of the BC Fact Book.
