From: <HAZLEDINE%EMBL.BITNET@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU> 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 Data Library: EMBL Data Library Telephone : (06221) 387409 Postfach 10.2209 Telefax : (06221) 387306 6900 Heidelberg Telex : 461613 (embl d) West Germany Computer network: datalib@embl (BITNET/EARN)
