RMKS/1.  PER REF A, FLEET TRANSITION TO TYCOM READINESS MANAGEMENT
SYSTEM (TRMS) INPUT TOOL (IT) SOFTWARE RELEASE 5.6 (SORTS MESSAGE
GENERATOR) IS NEARING COMPLETION.  EFFECTIVE DATE FOR ALL COMMANDS
TO EXCLUSIVELY USE TRMS IT R5.6 FOR SORTS REPORTING REMAINS 1 OCT

B.  REF C WILL BE OFFICIALLY PROMULGATED AND THEN BECOME EFFECTIVE
AFTER ALL SORTS READINESS DATABASES ARE MODIFIED TO ACCEPT THE NEW
SORTSREPNV FORMAT (EXPECTED APR03).
C.  FOR ALL REPORTING UNITS, FOLLOWING TRAINING AND INSTALLATION OF
TRMS R5.6 SOFTWARE, TWO SORTS MESSAGES WILL BE GENERATED FOR EACH
REPORTING OCCASION; ONE MESSAGE WILL BE IN CURRENT REF B FORMAT, THE
OTHER WILL BE IN REF C SORTSREPNV FORMAT.  TRMS R5.6 SOFTWARE WILL
CREATE BOTH MESSAGES FROM A SINGLE INPUT; DUPLICATE DATA ENTRY IS
