(498_WIN3.EXE Release for Windows 3.x)

MIL-STD-498 and its 22 Data Item Descriptions were converted to Adobe's Portable Document Format to provide a machine-readable version of the standard to a broad community of users. Adobe's free PDF Reader provides string search; print-on-demand; and text selection and paste into any word processor.

For added value, the Bookmark and Link features of PDF were used to provide outline-oriented access and topic-oriented navigation for the standard and its DIDs. A full hypertext version of the Index is provided separately from the standard for efficiency reasons.

You may use these PDF files without restriction. If you redistribute them please keep all 29 files together to ensure proper operation and information integrity for the next user (see ROADMAP.PDF for the File Listing).

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The conversion of MIL-STD-498 to Adobe's PDF was performed with funding from the AN/SQQ-89 Program Office and was facilitated by Logicon in San Diego, CA with suggestions from members of the Harmonization Working Group.
