At Stony Brook, we are about to begin a pilot in proposal routing using a
product called LINKWORKS.  The product was developed in Europe, but DEC is the
vendor with which we are dealing.  The package permits form transfers between
"all" platforms - DOS, Womdows, Mac, Unix, etc., provides signatures, logging
and everything else necessary.  The campus is connected through a ubiquitous
TCP/IP network

The pilot will involve about 20 faculty initially and will handle the routing
through chairs and deans to the Sponsored Project Office.  It will involve
Human Subjects approval as well.  I will keep this list posted as to the
level of success of the pilot
