In reply to Elaine Warner:

I wouldn't recommend starting a new system now if you know that you are going
to NOTIS in three years.  I would either wait it out or try to shorten the
three years.   Getting started in a serials control system is no small task,
and to change to another system is not much less labor intensive.
