Biology Lines: 27 One important point left out of BIOBIT No. 4 which is of relevance to BIONET users and other people on the Internet. Rob is speaking about routines that are only available to BITNET users, i.e., RELAY as mentioned in BIOBIT No. 4 is not a command on computers with only Internet connections. Less biologists on the Internet feel cheated, I wish to point out that there are many Internet features that BITNETers would drool to have access to, but this is not the time to discuss the relative merits of the respective networks. I believe I am correct in stating that the features Rob mentions in BIOBIT No 4 are not accessible unless you have a direct BITNET connection, but if someone knows otherwise I would welcome corrections.
