New Publication Exchange List




----------------------------------------------------------------------------
			THE PALAEO-PUBLICATION SWAP SHOP
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear PaleoNetters:

I have just placed the 12th weekly installment of the PaleoNet Publication
Exchange list on the Natural History Museum ftp site (I skipped week 11 as
there were no new postings that week).

			-----------------------------------
If you have any duplicate or surplus publications you would like to pass on
to other workers, 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 update this
list on a weekly basis.  Postings stay on the list 8 weeks in the first
instance, longer if required.

		THIS SERVICE HAS BEEN GETTING RESULTS.
			-----------------------------------

The current list is available on the NHM ftp site for all to peruse.  It is 
called publ_exchange12.  To see it:
			-----------------------------------
FROM UNIX:
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 two).

Type:	get publ_exchange12	(This gets you a copy of the file
publ_exchange12)

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
			-----------------------------------
ALTERNATIVELY AGAIN, if none of the above works for you, let me know and I
will email you the current list.

Cheers all.
