However, this system become outdated and a windows version based on the concepts of this software programme but expanded to meet modern scientific data storage and retrieval needs was put initiated in 2004. The program development has been funded by the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nation (FAO) and the Norwegian Directorate for development cooperation (Norad). The system is the property of the FAO and the Institute of Marine Research and will be distributed free of charge to our collaborating partners.
