GOVT INFO ON THE INTERNET. The experimental "Electronic Government
Information Service" is run by Syracuse University and features
electronic copies of government reports. It's accessible through
Gopher at eryx.syr.edu or via telnet at hafnhaf.micro.umn.edu. Once in
Gopher, the information is filed under Other Gopher and Information
Services/North America/USA/ General/EGIS. The Department of Commerce's
"Economic Bulletin Board" contains more than 2,000 files with
information on gross domestic product, employment trends, trade
information and regional statistics. The service is free through the
end of September and pricing thereafter is uncertain. To access, use
telnet to get to ebb.statusa.gov. At the prompt, log in as "trial."
