CIC is the major scientific meeting at which current research in ECG signal
processing and modelling is discussed; the proceedings of the conference are
probably the single best source of information in print about these topics.
CIC conferences have taken place annually since 1974, usually in September;
in even-numbered years, they are convened in North America, and in Europe in
odd-numbered years. The deadline for submission of abstracts is 1 May each
year. Proceedings of the conferences are published by the IEEE Computer
Society Press, and usually appear about 3 months after the date of the
conference. CIC will be in Indianapolis in 1996, and in Lund (Sweden) in 1997.

Microsoft Corporation One Microsoft Way Redmond, WA 98052 USA telephone: +1 206 936 8661Versions of MS-DOS earlier than 6.0 did not include `Microsoft CD-ROM extensions' (`mscdex.exe', an MS-DOS TSR that intercepts read requests directed to a CD-ROM drive, thus making an ISO 9660 or High Sierra file system appear to be a read-only MS-DOS file system). If you have an earlier version of MS-DOS, either upgrade to MS-DOS 6.x or later, or obtain `mscdex.exe' from your CD-ROM drive vendor. Be sure to specify which version of MS-DOS you are using, since newer versions of MS-DOS are not compatible with older versions of `mscdex.exe' (MS-DOS 3.x requires `mscdex' 2.00 or later, MS-DOS 4.x requires `mscdex' 2.10 or later, and MS-DOS 5.0 requires `mscdex' 2.20 or later). Microsoft Windows 95 (Chicago) does not require `mscdex', since it incorporates the functions of `mscdex' into the operating system.
