I am interested in obtaining releases of EMBL databank via compact disk. Is it available in CD format? Is the low level format in High Sierra or ISO 9660 disk format? How frequently is the CD distributed? What is the cost of a subscription? How do I order it? Thanks, Don Don.Gilbert@Iubio.Bio.Indiana.Edu biocomputing office, indiana univ., bloomington, in 47405, usa

Don Gilbert asks: >I am interested in obtaining releases of EMBL databank via compact disk. >Is it available in CD format? Yes, it has been released quarterly on CD-ROM since August 1989. It currently includes, EMBL and SWISS-PROT databases in normal 'EMBL' format, also both in NBRF format (FASTA can work on these), plus specially developed fully supported MSDOS query/retrieval software. Free samples available on request, we just need a postal address. >Is the low level format in High Sierra or ISO 9660 disk format? ISO 9660 format. >How frequently is the CD distributed? Quarterly. >What is the cost of a subscription? per CD-ROM: Academic (EMBL/EC nation) DM 150 Academic DM 300 Commercial DM 600 >How do I order it? Subscription information (& form) is available from the EMBL File Server. Send e-mail to NETSERV@EMBL.bitnet, containing lines: GET DOC:ORDERFORM.TXT (just the subscription form) GET DOC:ORDERINFO.TXT (form + other interesting things about EMBL services, inc details of CD-ROM) or if you prefer, of course we can supply paper copies by post or fax. >Thanks, Don Its a pleasure Peter Stoehr EMBL Data Library
