All of the technical reports generated by the Simulation Research Group are available. However, some reports, like computer documentation, must be purchased from the National Technical Information Service (NTIS). All of the non-NTIS reports are free of charge. If you do not find the report you want in PDF format, please email info@gundog.lbl.gov or fax (510) 486-4089 with your request. Report number and report title are required. Reports are usually mailed out the same day the request is received.
