3) Can you send me information on GVU admissions?
GVU itself is not an academic unit. Instead it is comprised of many participating academic units around campus. You can find general admissions information for Georgia Tech at the following URL:
http://www.gatech.edu/techhome/Admissions.htmlTo participate in the GVU Center, you will need to apply to an academic unit which will be your home department. GVU affiliated departments are listed at the following URL:

4. What is the HERMES project?
The Hermes Project is a project headed by Sunil Gupta of the University of Michigan School of Business. More information about the project is available from:
http://www-personal.umich.edu/~sgupta/hermes/Some of the data used by the Hermes Project was collected as part of Georgia Tech's GVU Center's WWW User Survey which is run by Jim Pitkow and Coleen Kehoe. Specifically, Dr. Gupta designed the questions for and did an analysis of the Consumer section of the survey. More information about the GVU Survey is available from:
http://www.cc.gatech.edu/gvu/user_surveys/
5) How do I view a GVU Technical Report?
GVU technical reports are available in both Acrobat(.PDF) and Postscript(.PS) format. You can get the Acrobat viewer free from Adobe at:
The Postscript files are UNIX compressed and have a .ps.Z filename extension. To uncompress and view them you'll need:
A UNIX-like uncompress utility
- For Macs: MacGZip
ftp://ftp.amug.org/pub/amug/bbs-in-a-box/files/unstuff/other-compression/
macgzip-1.0.sit.hqx - For Windows: GZip
- For Macs, you're out of luck. There doesn't appear to be a free PostScript file viewer. You'll have to purchase one.
- For Windows: ROPS.
