Thanks a lot ROB, again reminding the Internet library problem for me. I am on a Bitnet site and can not get in INTERNET yet.. so, is there any solution for me that enables me to use those FREE libraries? till now, i could not manage to use them... and lost all my hope about it. As being a network wizard, what can you advise me to do ROB(our friendly listowner/FINFUN) ? I have to note that there are many friends curious about the answer of this question. Thanks a lot.......... suleyman AYDIN (ph.d. student in pharmacology) medicinal plants res. ctr., univ.anatolia, tepebasi 26470 - eskisehir/TURKEI e-mail:d31@TRanaVM1.bitnet ..................

Sorry to say that I do not know of any way to use the INTERNET Library resources from BITNET. The INTERNET LIBRARY document states that you should use TELNET to access the library... so if you do not have TCP/IP protocols then it is pretty impossible to establish contact. However if you have TELNET on your mainframe then it is very easy to use the libraries. Here is an example with HOLLIS, at Harvard University. ******* DEMO RUN FROM FINLAND TO HARVARD ***** $ telnet 128.103.60.31 Trying. Connected 128.103.60.31.
