N2 - Recently the National Standard Reference Data System (NSRDS) produced its first NBS Standard Reference Database in a PC version - the NBS/EPA/MSDC Mass Spectral Database PC Version. The database contains about 44,000 electron ionizing mass spectra, various 'index' files used for data retrieval, and the searching software. Hardware requirements for using the database are an IBM XT, AT (or compatible) or PS/2, a minimum RAM of 512K, and a hard disk. Storage space on the disk depends on the number of search options selected (index files instituted) and is between 8 and 14 MB. A standard graphic adaptor (Hercules, EGA, or CGA) is optional and needed for graphic display of the spectra. The PC version of the database is a somewhat correct version of the 1987 NBS/EPA/MSDC database tape. Incorrect CAS RN were removed from about 2000 spectra. The database is very friendly and easy to use. Help menus could be obtained in any stage of the search, and in most screens one can find at the bottom of the screen the options concerning the next action to take. Choices are made by selecting a letter given in parentheses.
