            COSMIC is the  distribution  center  for  computer  software
            created  under  funding  from  the  National Aeronautics and
            Space Administration (NASA).  The  inventory  contains  over
            1200  programs.   Collections  of  program  abstracts can be
            mailed within the U.S. at no cost in  the  following  areas:
            Aerodynamics;   Artificial  Intelligence;   CAD/CAM;  Compo-
            sites; Computational Fluid Dynamics; Control Systems; Finite
            Element  Analysis;  Heat Transfer; Image Processing; Optics;
            Project Management;  Reliability; Satellite  Communications;
            Scientific  Visualization;  Trajectories;  Turbine Engineer-
            ing; and Utilities. Additionally,  COSMIC  Customer  Support
            will  perform a custom search of the inventory to help users
            identify programs in their area of interest and/or potential
            re-useable algorithms.

            Most COSMIC programs come with the source code.  Educational
            discounts may apply.  Members of the Federal Laboratory Con-
            sortium qualify for the "Software Exchange" program; details
            are available on request.

            New programs are added to the inventory on a monthly  basis.
            Contact  COSMIC  by  electronic  mail  to  receive  a  brief
            description of new programs.

            Most new programs are restricted for U.S. distribution only.
            Older  programs are available for limited international dis-
            tribution.
