Palaeontological Association Newsletter

[Mark Purnell <map2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Exciting news!
The Newsletter of the Palaeontological Association is now available 
for you to download and peruse at your leisure.  From this day 
forward, each issue (four a year) will be made available as it 
appears.

The latest issue contains, among other juicy bits, the contents of 
The Association's journal "Paleontology", announcements of 
forthoming meetings of the Pal Ass and other bodies, conference 
reports, excursion reports, book reviews...

To obtain your copy simply download either the .hqx file (if you're 
a mac) or .zip file (if you're a pc) from the paleonet anonymous 
ftp site:

ftp.nhm.ac.uk/paleonet/Newsletters

This can be achieved most easily using a good ftp transfer program 
(e.g., fetch).  Alternatively you can get into the site using 
TelNet, set the mode to binary, and download the files using the 
get command.  Read your manual for futher instructions.

log on as "anonymous" and give your e-mail address as your 
password.

Once you've got the file, it will decompress to an rtf file which 
can be read by most common word processing packages (such as word, 
wordperfect).  If you cannot use rtf files, stand by for imminent 
exciting developments!
