___________________________________________________________________________ THE GREAT PALAEO-PUBLICATION SWAP-SHOP OPENS ITS DOORS YET AGAIN ___________________________________________________________________________ Dear All: I have just placed the 14th thrilling weekly installment of the palaeo-publications-wanted-or-for-offer list on the NHM ftp site (scuse missing last week - VE celebrations dont y know - that Vera Lyn has a lot to answer for). Particular highlight of the present list is Henry Gee who is looking for a good home for several shelves-full of highly useful material. ----------------------------------------- If you have any duplicate or surplus publications you would like to pass on to other workers (for example, papers in some field that you no longer work in), or if you are looking for some publication, post a message to CommNet@nhm.ac.uk giving a brief description of what you are offering/ looking for (title alone will probably do in most cases) together with your email and snail mail addresses. You do not need to be a subscriber to CommNet to post messages to it. I will monitor CommNet and keep an updated list on the Natural history Museum ftp site, which all can peruse at their leisure (if you cannot ftp to NHM, then I can email you the list). ----------------------------------------- To obtain the list: Give command: ftp ftp.nhm.ac.uk When ftp asks for your Name, type: anonymous When ftp asks for your Password, type your full email address (eg: in my case this is tmcc@geology.glasgow.ac.uk - you do not see anything appear on the screen). Type: ls (this lists the available files and directories) Type: cd paleonet (this puts you in the Paleonet directory) Type: cd Publication_Exchange (this puts you in the Publication_Exchange directory) Type: ls (This lists the available files - there are currently two). Type: get publ_exchange2 (This gets you a copy of the file publ_exchange14; it is transferred into your file space under the same name) Type: bye (Logs you out of ftp). Alternatively, if you have a net browser like mosaic or netscape, link to ftp://ftp.nhm.ac.uk/ and follow links > paleonet > Publication_Exchange Or, as I say, if none of the above works, I can just email it to you. ----------------------------------------- Go on, have a look. Cheers. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tim McCormick Tel: 0141 339 8855 ext 5469 Dept. of Geology & Applied Geology Fax: 0141 330 4817 University of Glasgow Email: tmcc@geology.glasgow.ac.uk Glasgow G12 8QQ United Kingdom -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tim's the name, Measuring trilobites is the game.....
