EMBL NETWORK FILE SERVER - FURTHER INFORMATION
==============================================
Several people have been experiencing problems in using the file server
facility; our initial announcement was clearly not explicit enough!
Please note that the following three restrictions currently apply:
1. The machine from which you communicate with the server MUST be
a BITNET/EARN node - the server is not accessible via gateways
from any other network
2. You MUST use the "interactive send" command, or its equivalent on
your own machine, to communicate with the server - you cannot
use a standard mail program
3. You MUST send the file server a command as a one line message -
it cannot process commands contained in files
We hope to enhance the file server software in the future to remove
these restrictions, and will of course inform you about any such developments.
In the meantime, if you have any questions or problems we suggest that you
contact your local computer service, or, if they cannot help, the EMBL
