The GVU Tech Reports are papers published by researchers associated with the Center. We provide an archive of these documents as a public service to the academic community. Please note that some of the electronic versions may be missing figures which were cut and pasted into the hardcopy reports. If the report you are looking for is incomplete or missing, you may order a hard copy by contacting Joan Morton.

How to View the Technical Reports:
Reports are available in both Acrobat (.pdf) and compressed Postscript (.ps.Z) format. Acrobat documents are viewable and printable using Adobe's free Acrobat Reader. Our Acrobat files require Acrobat Reader 3.0 or later! Click here to download Ghostscript, a PostScript viewer for the Macintosh, Windows 95/98/NT and UNIX.
