"This manual describes a
personal computer program for making population projections. The
program takes an initial age-sex distribution and projects it into the
future for up to 75 years (in five-year steps), using fertility,
mortality, and migration assumptions specified by the user. Backward
projection is also possible. Detailed instructions for using the
program are provided, and an appendix explains the formulas and
algorithms used. The program runs on IBM-PC compatible machines with
at least 512K RAM and at least one floppy disk drive. A math
coprocessor allows the program to run significantly faster, but is not
required. Diskettes are provided inside the front and back
covers."

Cartography and Geographic Information Systems, Vol. 17, No. 1, Jan
1990. 17-113 pp. Bethesda, Maryland. In Eng.
This section includes
nine papers by various authors on the TIGER system developed by the
U.S. Bureau of the Census. TIGER, or Topologically Integrated
Geographic Encoding and Referencing System, is an automated
cartographic and geographic system developed to support the primary
statistical programs of the United States. The papers describe how the
system was developed, the major cartographic and geographic production
operations it currently supports, operation schedules on which the 1990
census is relying to make its data more useful, and future plans for
the system.

version 3.0 of the United Nations software packages for mortality
measurement. No. ST/ESA/SER.A/117, Pub. Order No. E.90.XIII.7.

This manual presents a new version of two software packages
developed by the United Nations for demographic measurement in
developing countries, with special emphasis on mortality measurement.
"Version 3.0 of these packages incorporates an additional demographic
application (for undertaking single-year population projections) and
offers a number of interface enhancements to make the programs easier
to use. This upgrade manual is written as a supplement to the already
published MORTPAK and MORTPAK-LITE manuals...and must be used in
conjunction with them. Chapters I and II of this manual are the two
major reference sections."
For the original versions of these two
software packages, introduced in 1988, see 54:20928 and 54:30803.

indicators, 1990 [MRDF]. 1990. New York, New York. In Eng.
"These are IBM-compatible or Apple Macintosh diskettes containing
selected demographic indicators for countries, regions and major areas
of the world. Estimates are presented for the 1950-85 period and the
medium, high and low variant projections are presented for 1985-2025.
Thirteen demographic indicators are given: total, female and urban
populations; female population aged 15 to 49; population aged 65 and
over; average annual rate of population growth; crude birth and death
rates; total fertility rate; life expectancies at birth for males,
females and both sexes combined; and the infant mortality rate. The
data contained on these diskettes are a subset of those found on the
United Nations magnetic tape, World Population Prospects 1990 [cited
elsewhere in this issue] and fully described in the publication World
Population Prospects 1990 to be published by the United Nations in
1991. Accompanying technical documentation is provided. Cost for
either IBM-compatible or Apple Macintosh version is U.S.$100, payable
to the United Nations."

"This is an IBM standard label magnetic tape containing full
results of the United Nations 1990 revision of its global demographic
estimates and projections. For countries, regions and major areas, the
data base contains demographic estimates for 1950-1985 and four
variants of projections for 1985-2025 for all countries (with
population size of 300,000 or more around 1985), regions and major
areas of the world. The data are presented quinquennially. Estimates
and projections have been prepared for population by sex and five-year
age groups, population by sex and one-year age group (for ages 5-24 in
1985-2025), and 28 major demographic indicators. The data contained on
the magnetic tape are fully described in the publication World
Population Prospects 1990 to be published by the United Nations in 1991
and the publication Sex and Age Distributions of Population published
by the United Nations in 1990. Accompanying technical documentation is
provided. The cost for the magnetic tape, including documentation is
U.S.$350, payable to the United Nations."
