As  the  various  personal  computers  become  more  and  more prolific  it  becomes  inevitable  that certain useful programs and/or generic subroutines are rewritten or redeveloped  a  great  number  of times  for  a  range  of different languages and computers.  Since not everyone enjoys reinventing the wheel, it is obvious that a  mechanism of open communication for microanalysis based software code is needed. Most microscopists/microanalysts are more than willing to  share  this information with the general community if there was a reasonable means to distribute the it without severely  impacting  on  their  own  time and/or  resources.   To  this  end the Microscopy and Microanalysis Software Library (MMSLib) has been formed.  This library is a merger of the MSA/Argonne Electron Microscopy and Microanalysis Public Domain Library (EMMPDL) and The MAS Microbeam Analysis Society Software Library (MASSL).  Its purpose is to provide a common forum for the exchange of data, source codes, and other  information  concerning computer-based  microanalysis. The libraries are stored in three locations: Unix fileservers at the Microscopy Society of America Site (MSA.MICROSCOPY.COM),  Argonne National Laboratory (WWW.AMC.ANL.GOV) and at The University of Michigan College of Engineering (FREEBIE.ENGIN.UMICH.EDU) . Access  to  this  information will be completely free of charge and  users  having  PC's,  Micro, Mini, or Mainframe  computer  systems  will be able to access the data base for their research  using  conventional  telecommunications  protocols or via the Internet as outlined below.
