a) Socrates. This is MCC's text search and retrieval software which is integrated <br /> with the Code in WordPerfect, WORD or ASCII. MCC performs the <br /> integration and provides support to Socrates users. The software affords easy <br /> "exportation" of language to your word processing, software for drafting and <br /> amendatory purposes. Utilizing your existing word processing program <br /> eliminates learning new editing commands and allows new ordinances to follow <br /> existing procedures. Socrates is available for DOS and Windows. <br /> b) ISMS. ISYS is the program from which Socrates is derived. It is a <br /> commercially available text retrieval software which instantly locates any <br /> document(s) containing references to a word, phrase, or combination thereof. <br /> It can be used on any/all files you designate, not just the Code (including <br /> minutes, letters, invoices, etc). Additionally ISYS supports over 25 different <br /> word processing programs. ISYS is available for DOS and Windows. <br /> c) Folio VIEWS. Folio VIEWS offers a powerful, context-sensitive, on-line help <br /> system for immediate assistance to inquiries. The customized menus offer robust <br /> functionality and speedy start-up access to your information. Every word in an <br /> infobase is indexed. Type in a word, a phrase or a query and watch the Query <br /> Map display the search results. With a click of the mouse, users can jump to <br /> the points of information they need. Information retrieval capabilities include <br /> standard boolean search operators, phrase searching, proximity searching and <br /> word stemming to include word variations and synonyms in searches. Folio <br /> VIEWS is available for DOS, Windows and Macintosh. <br /> (13) SUPPORT AND TRAINING. MCC offers a generous support and training policy. <br /> Telephone support is available during working hours by calling our toll free number, 1-800- <br /> 262-CODE. Our personnel can usually resolve problems in one phone call. Phone support is <br /> free of charge. While MCC does not physically install the software, our support personnel are <br /> available for consultation during the installation. On-site training is also available. <br /> (14) INTERNET CONNECTION. Should the County desire to place the Code on the <br /> Internet, it may be included on MCC's home page (http://www.municode.com). This home <br /> page contains a growing collection of Codes of Ordinances, and is available to anyone with <br /> Internet access. A link to the County's home page can also be provided with this service. The <br /> fee includes updating the Code on the Internet with all Supplements completed. <br /> (15) SHIPMENT; ADOPTING ORDINANCE. Upon completion of the above, MCC <br /> will ship the Code books to the County. At this time, MCC's attorney will furnish the County <br /> with a suggested adopting ordinance. Once the Code has been adopted, a copy of the ordinance <br /> should be sent to MCC, so that it can be included in the Code. <br /> 5 <br />
