SUBJ: ADP Costs Associated with the EPDF
25X1
1. Yesterday you asked what the EPDF cost AID. During the past year (actuall
1 April 1969-31 March 1970) we spent 0 on scftware (our programming) and
for production (the latter comprises labor and machine time of our Operations Branch).
2. I mentioned the need to convert the EPDF programs from 490 to 494 (we presents
run them at night using a 490 "translator" on the 494); we also have to add eight data
elements to meet COMIREX requirements. We intend to begin work on this within the next
few weeks; we estimate 1,400 manhours (roughly II over a six-month time frame to
complete the conversion. 25X1
3. Even then we will have a "kludge" systen (e.g., indices on mag tape and
abstracts on punched card). Thus, we have designated the EPDF as a prime candidate
for redesign following implementation of the IIS.
