This manual provides accompanying technical documentation for
SOCSIM, a sociodemographic microsimulation program. It "is divided
into five general sections. In the first, we provide an introductory
theoretical orientation and some historical notes on the development of
the procedures. In the second we go on to an overall description of
those procedures. In the third, we move to detailed specifications for
programmers, and in the fourth provide instructions for
users....Interested persons may obtain machine readable files
containing: source code, sample input files and setup, sample output
corresponding to these inputs and setup....They should specify whether
the files should be sent on: SUN-UNIX.25" tape cassette as a tar file
[or] industry standard unlabelled .5" ASCII tape. Specify whether 1600
or 6250 bpi and blocking factor. The fifth section of the manual gives
instructions on how to read these tapes and compile and test the
programs." The files cost $100 and are available from the Campus

"The National Center for
Health Statistics (NCHS) recently established a unique research data
base of linked birth and death certificates for infants born in the
United States who died before reaching 1 year of age. The first of an
annual series of national linked data files is the 1983 birth cohort
file, which includes infants born in 1983 who died in 1983 or 1984.
Linked files for the birth cohorts of 1984 and 1985 also are available.
Files for subsequent years will become available as they are
completed....The linked birth and infant death data set contains two
separate files on magnetic tape that can be used to calculate infant
mortality rates by selected infant and maternal characteristics. The
numerator file contains statistical data from linked birth and infant
death statistical records. The denominator file includes the NCHS
natality file and statistical data from a small number of additional
records for late-filed and other selected birth certificates needed to
link with infant death records." The files are available on tapes of
either 6250 bpi (at U.S. $560) or 1600 bpi ($1,000). Accompanying
