I beg your pardon, but Thomas Easton said in a posting to bio-software

> As I read it, this PIR access is NOT free ...

There is not and could not be a charge for use of the PIR FILESERVer which
offers users with access to BITNET or Internet full database query, search and
retrieval services for the PIR databases as well as database query and retrieval
for the last complete releases of the GenBank (R) and EMBL databases.
There are nominal charges only for PIR subscriptions, on-line access and
customized searches.
This posting will be followed by a reposting of the announcement about the
FREE PIR FILESERVer.
