Subject: Access to nucmed and nucmed files
This message will be published monthly to all nucmed
subscribers.
The facilities at nucmed provide three separate (but related)
services - an e-mail list server, anonymous ftp for any file and
mail-ftp for ASCII files.
List Server:
You can share your thoughts with some 600 or so other nuclear
medicine personnel in 28 different countries. To do this, send
your e-mail message to: nucmed@uwo.ca
Keep in mind that this is a mail burster. If you want to reply
to someone who posted to nucmed, then you may want to do so
privately, in which case you should avoid copying your reply to
the whole list in order not to overburden the net.
If you wish to be removed from the list or your e-mail address is
changed, please send your request to
nucmed-owner@irus.rri.uwo.ca. Should you know of others who wish
to subscribe to the list they may do so by sending their e-mail
and postal address to: nucmed-request@irus.rri.uwo.ca. The list
is updated on a weekly basis whenever possible.
Anonymous FTP:
UWO maintains a file server on which you can find some nuclear
medicine related files. To access these files, use anonymous FTP
to uwovax.uwo.ca (129.100.2.13).
The files you wish to access are located in directory:
PUB:[000000.NUCMED] and its subdirectories. From UNIX you can
access the nucmed directory with the command "cd nucmed";
to access subdirectories use the command "cd subdir", where
"subdir" is the name of the directory you need. To move back up
the tree use "cdup".
For example, the most recent version of the listing of E-mail
users resides on the file server and may be obtained by:
cd nucmed
cd people
get nucmed.directory
A shorter version of the same directory containing only names and
e-mail addresses exists as:
PUB:[NUCMED.PEOPLE]NUCMED.LIST
The complete Interfile documentation and some sample files
are located in PUB:[NUCMED.INTERFILE]
Do not forget to switch to "type binary" when transferring binary
files.
--------
Additional ftp node.... there is a copy of the book:
"Digital Networks and Communications in Nuclear Medicine"
that can be accessed on irus.rri.uwo.ca (129.100.7.136)
in the directory /pub/misc with the name: proceedings.ps.Z
Please note - this is a different machine
than that referred to above, the file is compressed (Unix)
and following expansion must be printed on a PostScript
printer. PLEASE observe the copyright statement and limit
the number of copies to one ONLY for your personal use.
---------
Mail-FTP:
The file server will also allow you to obtain ASCII files using
e-mail. Send an e-mail message to the address:
SERVICE@UWOVAX.UWO.CA
and the file server will respond by sending the file you specify
by return mail.
To specify the file, the technique you need to use is as follows:
Send an E-mail message to SERVICE@UWOVAX.UWO.CA and in the
Subject: line of your message indicate the service or file you
are requesting. The following services are currently available:
HELP LIST <file name>
but do not add any text to the message. Any message text will be
ignored by the server.
HELP - gives instructions concerning the use of the file
server similar to this message.
LIST - gives a complete list (not only nuclear medicine
related) of all the files currently available on the server.
<file name> - a request for some public file as listed in
LIST above.
For example, on the UWO mail system a message might look like
this:
{
$ mail service@uwovax.uwo.ca
Subject: pub:[NUCMED]medphys.list
Enter text end with "<cr>.<cr>"
Here is some text that will be ignored
.
}
In this case, the server will respond by sending the list of
available files which are of interest to medical physics. Other
files may be obtained using a similar method but including the
full pathname for the file in question.
Addition of files to server:
Other files are added, removed and updated as frequently as
possible in order to keep them current. Users are invited to
submit files for inclusion in the server. These should be sent
to me at:
cradduck@uwo.ca
and should be of a nature that they are valuable resource
material for medical physicists. Normally the files should be
data or programs such as spreadsheets or macros that are otherwise
not available in widely published form. Due to size limitations,
it is not possible to accommodate medical images on this server.
Public domain programmes can be accommodated, but, for
convenience, they should be in source code or encrypted into
ASCII code to enable transmission over the network. A script
file called mail-bin for UUEncoding binary files into ASCII
format on UNIX systems is available to facilitate the
transmission of binary files. Files that are UUEncoded in this
way need only to be fed to the sh program in order to be decoded
and concatenated back into correct order should the file have
been divided for mailing purposes. Files that are not
UUEncoded cannot be accessed by the mail-ftp facility.
