>   A Worldwide Web home page has been setup for morphometrics here
>at SUNY Stony Brook.  It can be accessed using the URL (uniform
>resource location):  http://life.bio.sunysb.edu.  You can use
>viewers such as Mosaic, Netview, or Lynx.  This address brings up
>the Ecology and Evolution home page which has an entry for
>morphometrics.
>
>   The following information is now available:  1) a list of the
>software in the morphmet directory.  There is descriptive
>information about the contents of each file and many of the readme
>files browsed without having to first FTP the file and then
>unpacking it. 2) a list of morphometric datasets. 3) a list of
>books on morphometrics (with annotations and information on
>ordering the 'blue book' and the 'black book'). 4) Notices about
>workshops and meetings related to morphometrics.  Note:  the
>software and datasets can be downloaded directly from within a WWW
>viewer such as Mosaic.
>
>   I plan to add additional information to expand this service.
>For example an electronic newsletter, bibliographic database
>(Dennis Slice plans to work on this), and a glossary on
>morphometrics (a Rohlf, Slice, and Bookstein project).  I am
>considering a list of e-mail addresses of morphometricians (if the
>subscribers to the morphmet list do not mind).

>   I would like comments and suggestions -- and especially offers
>of help!  I don't plan to do this all myself.  Please contact me
>if you would like to maintain a database or service that we can
>either store here or link to.
