                                   ACA, GA, etc.)
* Bionet News Groups

Unlike most Usenet newsgroups, the bionet newsgroups all have gateways
into non-listserver mailing lists.  The cross-posting of articles to
more than one newsgroup is discouraged, since at this time the e-mail
subscribers will get multiple copies of any cross-posted articles.
These mailing lists are administrated by David Kristofferson's BIOSCI
service, which is funded by the US National Science Foundation for the
express purpose of supporting computer networking among biologists.
By supporting personal e-mail subscriptions to the bionet newsgroups,
BIOSCI has effectively formed a bridge between biologists with e-mail
and those with Usenet (once familiar with Usenet, few people have the
patience for e-mail subscriptions).  David Kristofferson is responsible
for proposing the creation of the bionet domain of Usenet and starting
many of the bionet newsgroups.  Requests for e-mail subscriptions to
bionet newsgroups are handled by biosci@net.bio.net (for requests from
the Americas) and biosci@daresbury.ac.uk (for all others).

A FAQ describing administrative details of the bionet newsgroups is
available from biosci@net.bio.net or biosci@daresbury.ac.uk, and
appears regularly in the bionet.announce newsgroup.  Note:  rules for
forming new bionet newsgroups differ somewhat from those used elsewhere
in Usenet. Various other FAQs dealing with the interests of specific
newsgroups are posted in those newsgroups.  Tom Schneider's FAQ for
bionet.info-theory is available by anonymous ftp from ncifcrf.gov:
look for the file bionet.info-theory.faq in the pub/delila/ directory.

The Biomedical Computer Laboratory (BCL) is designated as a "Resource
for Biomedical Computing" by the National Institutes of Health's
National Center for Research Resources (NCRR).  A significant portion
of the activities at the BCL are supported by NCRR's Biomedical
Research Technology Program (BRTP) which promotes the application of
advances in computer science and technology, engineering, mathematics,
and the physical sciences to research problems in biology and medicine
by supporting the development of advanced research technologies.  In
addition to supporting the development of new or improved technologies,
the BRTP resource program encourages the use of those developments in
collaborative research with biomedical research investigators
nationally through both collaborative interactions and service-oriented
relationships.

BCL Program emphasis is on quantitative imaging including positron-
emission tomography (PET) image reconstruction utilizing
estimation-maximization (EM) methods, computational optical-
sectioning microscopy, shape modeling and segmentation, electron-
microscopic autoradiography (EMA), image acquisition and
quantitative analysis of DNA electrophoretic gels and
autoradiograms, and parallel processing.

The Resource invites program participation by research
investigators with relevant scientific interests.  The participation
can be either as a research collaborator or as a user of Resource
capabilities.  A collaboration involves two-way interaction of mutual
benefit, whereas user service provides a primary benefit to the user.

Investigators wishing to explore the possibility of interactions
with the Resource at Washington University should contact us by
mail, telephone, FAX, or e-mail (preferred).  Information may also
be obtained via an anonymous FTP server on the Internet on which
the Resource maintains public information including a list of
publications available, selected publications, and software.

Directory  /mac/etc/medical

The Mac Archives at University of Michigan is pleased to announce
a new collection area for medicine and the health sciences.
Currently, the collection is small - The contents is gradually
growing in the AMSA public domain software library, but these files
are a few years old. They are am seeking any Macintosh programs,
utilities, demonstrations, or computer aided instruction related to
the health sciences. If you have been developing any type of
Macintosh medical software and would like to make it available to
the rest of the world, send it to them.  There are currently no
restrictions, but for load management reasons, limits  may be imposed
in the future.  If you are using AFS (Andrew File System) you can get
to the archive directory with:

     cd /afs/umich.edu/group/itd/archive/mac/etc/medical

Currently, the medical section of the archives is being maintained
by myself, Eric Meininger (ericm@umich.edu), a medical student
attending the University of Michigan Medical School. If you have
any comments or suggestions, don't hesitate to send a message.

     SUBMITTING FILES TO THE MEDICAL SECTION OF THE ARCHIVES

The best way to get files to our archive is to ftp-put them into
the incoming directory, then e-mail ericm@umich.edu and let him
know that you've placed a file.  This way he'll know there are
health science files waiting  within the directory, and also who to
contact if the files don't work "as advertised".

Another way is to e-mail the file to ericm@umich.edu.  It works just as
well.

Viruses

Unlike other Internet "Mac" archives, we test each and every one of
the files that appears in our "incoming" directory and in our
mailboxes addressed to mac.archive.

Questions, Problems and comments regarding the medical
archive specifically should be sent to ericm@umich.edu. General
mac.archive questions should be sent to comments@mac.archive.umich.edu

This request asks for two documents -- The Scientist\ of
December 7, 1992 and Index to The Scientist.  You can request
upto 20 topics in one request.  Each topic on a separate line.

The NNSC Info-Server is now configured to split documents into a
maximum size of 40,000 bytes (40K bytes).  The reason is that some
important mail gateways reject messages longer than an arbitrary limit,
and others have difficulty with long messages from time to time.  This
is why you have to give Line or Byte Limit on the second line of your
request. The requested information will be transmitted to your mail

How does BIRON work?

Searches based on topics The BIRON system prompts you to type in a
topic for which you are seeking data. Your term is matched against a
list of several thousand descriptive terms arranged in associated
groups. If an exact match is found, you are told how many datasets have
been indexed with the matching term and are offered other associated
terms which might assist in focussing your search.  If no exact match
is found, lists of similarly spelled words are offered for your
selection and the process of matching begins there. Some Topic Covered
in the Catalogue Data held in the Archive cover most areas of social
and economic life. They include, but are not limited to:

CENTER FOR BIOMEDICAL INFORMATICS

The Center for Biomedical Informatics maintains a software library with
50 diskettes containing ca. 150 public-domain medical application
programs for IBM-PC-compatible microcomputers. Most of this programs
are provided in source  code (BASIC, Turbo-BASIC, dBASE III and
PASCAL). In the last three years, the Center has distributed more than
400 copies to physicians, nurses, dentists, university lecturers and

researchers, and other professionals and students in the Health
Sciences, in exchange for a small fee per diskette, which is used to
expand the public-domain software library. Outside contributions are
welcome: if they areaccepted, the contributor is entitled to choose any
five diskettes from the collection. The majority of the programs are in
Portuguese, but some are in English, too. A few of the programs are
offered as shareware.

     To receive the catalogue in electronic form, send the
     following one-line message to INFOMED@CCVAX.UNICAMP.BR or
     INFOMED@BRUC.BITNET:

     GET PUBLIC-DOMAIN P (for version in Portuguese)
     GET PUBLIC-DOMAIN E (for version in English)

     Instructions on how to acquire the software are included.


BITNIS

Accessing databases of the national library of medicine through
electronic mail - BITNIS

During the I Regional Congress on Health Sciences Information held on
October 1992 in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The Pan American Health
Organization, Regional Office of the World Health Organization
officially launched BITNIS (Batch BITNET/Internet to NLM
Intercommunication Service), for Latin American and Caribbean
Countries.

BITNIS it is a new mechanism for accessing all databases of the
National Library of Medicine (NLM) in Bethesda, Maryland. This method
involves use of GRATEFUL MED, BITNET, internet, UUCP, FIDONET, and a
software called SMED.

BITNIS was developed by Dr. Andres Stutzin and  Victor Cid of the
University of Chile, in collaboration with the National Library of
Medicine and the Pan American Health Organization.

BITNIS uses GRATEFUL MED (GM) to generate the desired bibliographic
search.  GM is a user-friendly software program that run on an IBM- XT,
AT or other compatible computer and that permits a user without
experience to do a bibliographic search of the Medical Library Analysis
and Retrieval System (MEDLARS) of the NLM.

GM allows formulation and modification of a search strategy before
sending via BITNET, internet, UUNET, etc. The search strategy is
formatted by SMED and then that "file" is sending by electronic mail
through any network to NLM internet node.  The BITNIS gateway captures
the message and converts it for processing by the NLM computer.  The
results of the search then are returned by the NLM computer to the
gateway where the file is converted for transmission via computer
network to the recipient's PC. Is the file the same as used for the GM
Search Engine (Appendix G of the GM Instruction Manual)? Are the
commands the same as given in the "Basics of Searching Medline" PB

NIH GRANT LINE (DRGLINE Bulletin Board)

telnet -  wylbur.Cu.Nih.Gov or 128.231.64.82
At the Open prompt, type  ,gen1  (must include comma)
INITIALS? bb5
ACCOUNT? ccs2

This should put the user into the DRGLINE Bulletin Board (also known as
NIH Grant Line at NIH).
The purpose of NIH Grant Line is to make program and policy information
of the Public Health Service (PHS) agencies rapidly available to the
biomedical research community.  Most of the research opportunity
information available on this bulletin board is derived from the weekly
publication, "NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts", consisting of
Notices, RFAs, RFPs (announcements of availability), Numbered Program
Announcements, and statements of PHS policy.  The electronic version
known as E-Guide is available for electronic transmission each week,
sometimes a day or two in advance of the nominal Friday publication
dates.  The material consists predominantly of statements about the
research interests of the PHS Agencies, Institutes, and National
Centers that have funds to support research in the extramural
community.

Currently under development are 2 new files.  One of them will be a
monthly listing of new NIH Awards.  The other one will be an order
form to obtain NIH publications from DRG's Office of Grants Inquiries.

The information found on the NIH Grant Line is grouped into three main
sections: (1) short News Flashes that appear without any prompting
shortly after you have logged on; (2) Bulletins that are for reading;
and (3) Files that are intended mainly for downloading.

There are menus and simple plain English commands, but all the user has
to type is the first letter of the commands displayed. Since most of
the current as well as archived files are located in the section of the
bulletin board called FILES, type  F  inorder to be able to access any
of the files which are arranged into directories.  To get an overview
of the kinds of info available type  D  for Directory.  Remember that
you can mail files (a "download" option) to your Internet address.
  ELECTRONIC ACCESS TO NIH GUIDE FOR GRANTS AND CONTRACTS
 Issued weekly for Notices, RFAs, RFPs and Program Announcements
                    (Electronic version known as E-Guide)

There are two principal methods of accessing the NIH Guide
electronically.
         I. Via Electronic Networks to Institutional Hubs.
        II. By Accessing NIH Grant Line, an Electronic Bulletin Board

                          I.  INSTITUTIONAL HUBS

The first method is to have someone in your research setting volunteer
to receive the NIH Guide, Indices, and Directories automatically
via electronic networks each time they are updated - then
redistribute them locally to biomedical researchers.  We call these
participants the "institutional hubs", a preferred method and the most
efficient in our view, and it is up to each hub to disseminate the
material by existing systems or by methods of their own choosing.  To
express your interest in serving as the focal point for your


organization and to receive a letter of invitation, send an E-mail
message in which the responsible person is named to Dr. Claudia Blair
whose Bitnet address is Q2C@NIHCU (or Internet Q2C@CU.NIH.GOV).

                          II.  NIH GRANT LINE

The other method, which requires your active intervention to access the
same documents each week, is to get access to the NIH Grant Line.
Directions for this system that operates like an electronic bulletin
board are given below.  Incidentally, we have recently added a new
feature on NIH Grant Line that, instead of downloading selected
documents through a modem, allows the rapid transmission of files via
Bitnet or Internet to your Bitnet or Internet address.  The connection
or access to our electronic bulletin board is through a modem, but you
may download to a PC file, or you can speed up the process of accessing
files in an interactive session by directing mail to yourself as
indicated below.

To access NIH Grant Line,
    1.  Configure your terminal emulator as:  1200 or 2400 baud,
        even parity, 7 data bits, 1 stop bit, Half Duplex.

    2.  Using the procedure specified in your communication software,
        dial 1-301-402-2221.  When you get a response indicating that
        you have been connected, then type  ,GEN1  (the comma is
        mandatory) and press ENTER; you will be prompted by the NIH
        system for "INITIALS?".  Type  BB5  and press ENTER.  You will
        then be prompted for "ACCOUNT?".  Type  CCS2  and press ENTER.

Messages and a menu will be displayed that will allow you to read
Bulletins, or download Files.  It shouldn't take you long to
familiarize yourself with the contents of the bulletin board, and the
commands to go back and forth from one section to another.  On the NIH
Grant Line, back issues of the NIH Guide are found in different
directories.  GUIDE90 has issues going back to July 6, 1990; GUIDE91
has all of the issues in 1991; GUIDE92 has all of the issues in 1992;
and GUIDE93 has all issues to date in 1993.

Remember that although the access is through a modem, transmission of
the files selected can be speeded up by the selection of network
transmission. When you have selected a file to be "downloaded", you may
chose option 2        "2 -- Transmitted to a NUnet, BITNET, or Internet
userid" and then respond with your E-mail address, if you prefer this
option.

     Sciences Information), will be the coordinator for
     distribution of BITNIS passwords through  its network.  BITNIS

UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS DIVISION OF ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH AND SAFETY BBS

Access: telnet - romulus.Ehs.Uiuc.Edu 3000  or  128.174.74.24

The University of Illinois Division of Environmental Health and Safety
maintains a large collection of Material Safety Data sheets.  Part of
the collection (approximately 26,000 MSDS's) is maintained in paper
files at the Division headquarters located at 101 South Gregory St.,
Urbana, Illinois.  The paper collection is constantly updated as new or
more current MSDS's are received from manufacturers and suppliers.
Each MSDS, is assigned a unique serial number uppon arrival.  These
numbers are referred to as DEHS ID numbers or DEHSID's.  A file listing
the dehsid, the chemical name and the supplier for each of these MSDS's
is maintained on-line.  It is accessible through this BBS at the MSDS
MENU.

In addition to the paper file, the Division also maintains a file
containing approximately 86,000 MSDS in the form of a database which is
also directly accessible through this BBS.  This database consists of a
collection which is distributed quarterly by the Canadian Centre for
Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS).  The CCOHS is a non-profit
organization dedicated to promoting a safe and healthy environment by
providing information about occupational health and safety.  The
information contained in the CCOHS database is contributed directly to
CCOHS by manufacturers and suppliers of chemical products.  The MSDS's
in the CCOHS database are in English and/or French, as supplied by the
contributors.  They contain basic information on the properties and
potential hazards of chemical products, how to use them safely, and
what to do if there is an emergency.  The MSDS MENU allows you to
simultaneously search the index of all of the paper MSDS's contained in
our files as well as the MSDS's obtained on a quarterly basis from
CCOHS.  As you search the index, you will notice that some of the
dehsid's start with the letter "T".  These represent MSDS which you may
directly look at in their entirety on-line.  This program will
eventually be used for accessing many information sources in the
Division of Environmental Health and Safety.  It is currently being
developed, so please keep in mind that some things will not work
correctly.  If you encounter any difficulties in using this BBS, or if
you wish to make suggestions you may contact Hector Mandel
(mandel@romulus.ehs.uiuc.edu).

 GOPHER

Although GOPHER is a relative newcomer to the internet, the health
resources it points to are vast. The best way to learn about GOPHER
and what it has to offer is to log onto one and go exploring.  You'll
either have to have a Gopher client or telnet to a 'public Gopher to
get into the system.  So a good place to begin 'tunneling' through
gopher space is to telnet to the University of Minnesota gopher server
at gopher.micro.umn.edu, port 70.  Happy 'tunneling'!

gopher features much of the usual and the following:

     o  technical report abstracts from the last 10 years from the
     Knowledge Systems Laboratory (which includes the Section on
     Medical Informatics and the Heuristic Programming Project)

     o  an extensive collection of Mac documentation (including
     Word 5, Canvas and other applications)

     o  a search test directory, originally designed for testing
     the NeXT's Digital Librarian indexing) that now can be used to
     test the searching capabilities of Don Gilbert's WAIS enhancements
     (in the About the CAMIS Gopher directory). It's simple, but
     especially useful for novices like myself to figure out what you
     will get with a particular search on a small, well-defined
     database.

HEALTHLINE GOPHER SERVER
University of Montana Student Health Services

[NOTE: Healthline is at selway.umt.edu port 700 (NOT 70!! as is
currently listed at the U Minn list of Gophers and at NIH and a
few other places).

The goal of Healthline is to offer (electronically) many of
the same types of information that you'd receive by going to any
university health center...and then some.  It's NOT designed to replace
face-to-face consultation with a doctor or counselor, but to assist in
learning and understanding topics of general health/medical interest.
Healthline not only includes "traditional" topics of physical and
mental health (sexuality, drug & alcohol information, academic
tips and dietary facts), but also pointers to information for the
disabled, information about the effect of computers on health,
health-related USENET newsgroups, various "Extension Service"
Gophers, environmental health and safety issues, and health-related
information provided via U.S. Federal Agencies.  Healthline does not
cover advanced medical research sources.

ST. BONIFACE GENERAL HOSPITAL LIBRARIES

     1.   Telnet UMOPAC.UMANITOBA.CA or 130.179.16.89
     2.   At the UML=> prompt, type BE

     OPAC = PALS

     To exit, type $$SOFF

     St. Boniface University
     General Hospital of Manitoba
     Libraries

     BRIDGE

     Welcome to the online public access catalogue.  The PALS-based
     catalogue provides access to the collections of two
     institutions so users should note the system prompt to
     determine which institution they are searching.

     If you are using the system for the first time, type:  HELP
     If you wish to search both libraries in the system, type:
     HELP SY

     If you are using this system from outside a library, remember
     that to leave and return to the campus network, you must type:
     $$SOFF

     PALS INSTRUCTIONS:  Searching Other Libraries

     The online public access catalogue contains bibliographic
     records from the following two libraries:
       SBH  --  St. Boniface General Hospital Libraries
       UML  --  University of Manitoba Libraries
The collection sizes for each library can be displayed by typing SIZE.
By default, all of your searches will be run against one library.
However, you may also search either "the other" library or both of them
together by using a location symbol immediately after your command
name.  For example:

     AU SBH MILLER BENJAMIN FRANK
     CO UML GODAVARI HAZARDOUS
     TI SYS DENTISTRY AN ILLUSTRATED HISTORY

     The symbol SYS will search both the SBH and UML collections.

     If you wish to search extensively in another library, you may
     also change the default through the use of the SET LIB
     command. For instructions on this command, type HELP SZ.

     UML=>help sz







     PALS INSTRUCTIONS:  Changing The Default Library

Normally, all of your searches will be processed against one
default library, either SBH (St. Boniface General Hospital
Libraries) or UML (University of Manitoba Libraries).  You also have
the option of searching either the other library or both of them
together by inserting the location symbol immediately after your
command name.  The symbol for both is SYS.  For example:

     AU SBH MILLER BENJAMIN FRANK
     CO UML GODAVARI HAZARDOUS
     TI SYS DENTISTRY AN ILLUSTRATED HISTORY

If you wish to search extensively in another library, you may
temporarily change your search default with the LIB command.
     For example:

     SET LIB UML
     SET LIB SBH
     SET LIB SYS

When you use the SET LIB command, your system prompt will change to
reflect the new search default.  Following a period of inactivity, the
system will return the search default for your terminal to its original
setting and the prompt will revert back to normal.
