Path: utzoo!utgpu!watmath!iuvax!bionet!kristoff From: kristoff@NET.BIO.NET (David Kristofferson) Newsgroups: bionet.software Subject: Re: ANU NEWS Message-ID: Date: 20 Apr 89 23:31:33 GMT References: <3673@cc.helsinki.fi> Organization: Natl Computer Resource for Mol. Biology Lines: 32 As part of our efforts to encourage the spread of newsreading software, BIONET is taking steps to make the ANU NEWS program mentioned by Rob Harper available through our anonymous FTP directory on net.bio.net. We will post an announcement when the program (source and binaries) is available. I have been informed that the total package occupies about 6 MB of disk space so it will be supplied in a compressed version along with the appropriate VAX decompression software. Stay tuned for further developments ... For those of you on VAXen running VMS who are currently receiving these bulletins in your mail file, I **STRONGLY*** encourage you to alert your computer systems staff to the pending availability of this software. Note however that anonymous FTP is only available to Internet sites, not BITNET sites, and the code is too large to be sent through the mail to BITNET. If your VAX is on BITNET only, you will have to make arrangements with someone else nearby who is on the Internet to obtain a copy of this as we do not presently have the resources to start distributing this software on tape to everyone. However, if someone else out there in BITNETland has another distribution mechanism and is willing to volunteer, we could arrange to mail a tape to that site. -- Sincerely, Dave Kristofferson BIONET Resource Manager kristoff@net.bio.net or kristofferson@bionet-20.bio.net
