During the past two years, my company has been placing hundreds of webpages into the Top Ten -- the front page -- of the major search engines... and for a small fee, I will show you how we do it... and I'll share with you our ongoing research -- every month! My name is Stephen Mahaney. I am the president of Planet Ocean Communications. My web marketing company has literally "written the book" on how to position your website on the front page -- the Top Ten -- of each of the major search engines... guaranteed! Our 65 page manual identifies every trick & technique that is being used on the Internet to gain an almost "unfair" advantage in landing websites at the top of the search engine lists -- right where you need to be so that potential customers who are seeking your services or products can find you. Our monthly Newsletter keeps you abreast of the latest techniques and frequent changes that take place in the dynamic world of "search engine" science. However, understanding the process does not require a degree in "rocket" science -- nor do you need to be "technically oriented". Whether your website is a "do-it-yourself" project or you are paying someone to maintain your site, you (or your webmaster) need to know the tricks in this book in order to compete with the professionals who are dominating the front pages of the various search categories. To learn more about how you can obtain this essential information and receive a free subscription to our Newsletter -- SEARCH ENGINE SECRETS UPDATE, go to....   http://www.searchengine-tips.com/hints/ You'll be glad you did. Sincerely, Stephen Mahaney - President Planet Ocean Communications *************************************************** Note: We have contacted you based on information that we gathered while visiting your website - If you would prefer not to receive mail from us in the future, simply reply with the word "remove" in the subject line and you will be automatically excluded from future correspondence.

I have used EVERY PSORIASIS TREATMENT that has ever been on the market. I have been prescribed EVERY OINTMENT, CREME, OR TOPICAL TREATMENT by over 8 DOCTORS in 5 STATES. I've had INJECTIONS of CORTISONE AND PUVA LIGHT TREATMENTS. Fairly recently, I came across results from GENETIC REASEARCH that was being conducted at a MAJOR MEDICAL CENTER. One of the most amazing findings from this research was a treatment that virtually ELIMINATED PSORIASIS. I tried it and I have been completely free and clear of my psoriasis for the FIRST TIME IN 25 YEARS!!. Best of all, this treatment costs me less than $3 per month. Everyone who has studied this disease knows that there is no cure for PSORIASIS...not yet anyway. Anyone claiming to have a cure is not being truthful. But this TREATMENT allows you to lead the normal life you have dreamed of ever since you gave up wearing shorts and short sleeve shirts and swim suits for fear of embarrassment. You will no longer have to worry that people will see that you have something again. I PROMISE YOU THAT THIS WORKS AND WILL WORK FOR YOU AS WELL AS IT DID FOR ME. IT IS THE SAFEST AND MOST INEXPENSIVE PSORIASIS TREATMENT EVER!. If you want to find out how you can get the relief and knowledge I have, you will be sent a report with the necessary instructions. I will tell you what to buy, where to buy it (it is very safe and is bought over -the -counter), and how to take it properly for optimal effect. THIS IS NOT ABOUT MESSY CREAMS, HERBAL OR HOLISTIC CONCOCTIONS OR SUN BOX'S. It is a simple treatment that gives your body exactly what it needs to make you clear up.

Bull's Eye Gold is the PREMIER email address collection tool. This program allows you to develop TARGETED lists of email addresses. Doctors, florists, MLM, biz opp,...you can collect anything...you are only limited by your imagination! You can even collect email addresses for specific states, cities, and even countries! All you need is your web browser and this program. Our software utilizes the latest in search technology called "spidering". By simply feeding the spider program a starting website it will collect for hours. The spider will go from website to targeted website providing you with thousands upon thousands of fresh TARGETED email addresses. When you are done collecting, the spider removes duplicates and saves the email list in a ready to send format. No longer is it necessary to send millions of ads to get a handful of responses...SEND LESS...EARN MORE!!! A terrific aspect of the Bull's Eye software is that there is no difficult set up involved and no special technical mumbo-jumbo to learn. All you need to know is how to search for your targeted market in one of the many search engines and let the spider do the rest! Not familiar with the search engines? No problem, we provide you with a list of all the top search engines. Just surf to the location of a search engine on your browser then search for the market you wish to reach...it's that easy! For instance if you were looking for email addresses of Doctors in New York all you would do is: 1) Do a search using your favorite search engine by typing in the words doctor(s) and New York 2) Copy the URL (one or more)...that's the stuff after the http://... for instance it might look like http://www.yahoo.com/?doctor(s)/?New+York 3) Press the START button THAT's IT!!! The Bull's Eye spider will go to all the websites that are linked, automatically extracting the email addresses you want. The spider is passive too! That means you can let it run all day or all night while you are working on important things or just having fun on your computer. There is no need to keep a constant watch on it, just feed it your target market and give it praise when it delivers thousands of email addresses at the end of the day! Features of the Bull's Eye Software: * Does TARGETED searches of websites collecting the email addresses you want! * Collects Email addresses by City, State, even specific Countries * Runs Automatically...simply enter the Starting information, press The Start Button, and it does the rest * Filters out duplicates * Keeps track of URLs already visited * Can run 24 hours per day, 7 days per week * Fast and Easy List Management * Also has built in filtering options...you can put in words that it "Must" have while searching,...you can even put in criteria that it "Must NOT Have"...giving you added flexibility * Also imports email addresses from any kind of files (text files, binary files, database files) * List editor handles Multiple files to work on many lists simultaneously * Has a Black-Book feature... avoid sending emails to people who do not want to receive it * Built-in Mail program...send email directly on the internet with just a click of your mouse * Personalized Emails...if the email address has the user's name when it is collected,..you can send Personalized emails!!! * Sort by Location, Server, User Name, Contact Name * Advanced Operations: · Email address lists export in many different formats (HTML, Comma delimited, text file) · Advanced editing...Transfer, Copy, Addition, Delete, Crop, Move to Top/Bottom · Operations between lists...Union, Subtraction, Comparison * Program is Passive,...meaning you can run other programs at the same time CALL FOR MORE INFORMATION 213-969-4930 CALL FOR MORE INFORMATION 213-969-4930 ORDERING INFORMATION Customer Name Company Name Address City State Zip Phone Fax Email Address ______ BULL'S EYE SOFTWARE $259.00 Includes Software, Instructions, Technical Support ______ Shipping & Handling (2-3 Day Fedex) $10.00 (Fedex Overnite) $20.00 ______ TOTAL (CA Residents add applicable sales tax) *All orders are for Win 95 and Win NT *****CREDIT CARDS ACCEPTED***** MASTERCARD VISA AMEX PLEASE CALL 213-969-4930 to process your order 9am-5pm Pacific Time Checks or Money Orders send to: WorldTouch Network Inc. 5670 Wilshire Blvd. Suite 2170 Los Angeles, CA 90036 Please note: Allow 5 business days for all checks to clear before order is shipped.

Questions marked with '+' are new, those with '!' have substantially changed answers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Q0: What is ACEDB? A0: ACEDB is an acronym for A Caenorhabditis elegans Database. It can refer to a database and data concerning the nematode C. elegans, or to the database software alone. This document is concerned primarily with the latter meaning. ACEDB is being adapted by many groups to organize molecular biology data about the genomes of diverse species. ACEDB allows for automatic cross-referencing of items during loading and allows for hypertextual navigation of the links using a graphical user interface and mouse. Certain special purpose graphical displays have been integrated into the software. These reflect the needs of molecular biologists in constructing genetic and physical maps of genomes. ACEDB was written and developed by Richard Durbin (MRC LMB Cambridge, England) and Jean Thierry-Mieg (CNRS, Montpellier, France), beginning in 1989. It is written in the C programming language and uses the X11 windowing system to provide a platform independent graphical user interface. The source code is publicly available. Durbin & Thierry-Mieg continue to develop the system, with contributions from other groups. A description by Durbin & Thierry-Mieg: ACEDB does not use an underlying relational database schema, but a system we wrote ourselves in which data are stored in objects that belong in classes. This is nevertheless a general database management system using caches, session control, and a powerful query language. Typical objects are clones, genes, alleles, papers, sequences, etc. Each object is stored as a tree, following a hierarchical structure for the class (called the "model"). Maps are derived from data stored in tree objects, but precomputed and stored as tables for efficiency. The system of models allows flexibility and efficiency of storage --missing data are not stored. A major advantage is that the models can be extended and refined without invalidating an existing database. Comments can be added to any node of an object. Return to List of Questions ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Q1: What is the current version of the ACEDB software? A1: The current Unix version is ace.4_5d/e, released 28 August 1997. Enhancements added during the ACE97 Workshop will be incorporated in the next release. The very latest development version is always available at ftp://ftp.sanger.ac.uk/pub/acedb_src/. This is unsupported and not to be redistributed. New! The current Windows 95/NT version is 4.5.4b, 15 May 1998. For the latest documentation see the WinAce Web page at http://mendel.medgen.ubc.ca/rbrusk/winace.html. A Macintosh version is available as version 4.1b1, August 1995. New! The new (Sanger) webace is at version 2.0a5, March 1998. (See "Can ACEDB be networked?".) New! Jade is at version 1.0j, Apr 1998. (See "Can ACEDB be networked?".) Return to List of Questions ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Q2: Where can I get ACEDB? A2: Source code and Unix binaries are available in the following anonymous ftp sites: * ncbi.nlm.nih.gov in repository/acedb * ftp.sanger.ac.uk in pub/acedb * lirmm.lirmm.fr in pub/acedb * bioinformatics.weizmann.ac.il in pub/databases/acedb Linux binaries in ELF and a.out format, from Jeff Bryer: * ncbi.nlm.nih.gov in repository/acedb * bioinformatics.weizmann.ac.il in pub/databases/acedb Windows 95/NT, from Richard Bruskiewich: * ftp.sanger.ac.uk in pub/acedb/winace * bioinformatics.weizmann.ac.il in pub/databases/acedb * Documentation: http://mendel.medgen.ubc.ca/rbrusk/winace.html MacAce, from Frank Eeckman, Cyrus Harmon and Richard Durbin: (Note: The authors are not currently able to support MacAce. Latest version was 4.1b1.) * ncbi.nlm.nih.gov in repository/acedb/macace * genome.lbl.gov in pub/macace * bioinformatics.weizmann.ac.il in pub/databases/acedb NEC EWS4800 binaries: * http://www.labs.nec.co.jp/freesoft/freesofte.html Return to List of Questions ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Q3: What hardware/software do I need to run ACEDB? A3: The software is available in binary (pre-compiled) format for a variety of machines. * Unix: o Sun/SunOS 4.x o Sun/Solaris o DEC DECstation3100, 5100 etc. o DEC Alpha/OSF-1 o Silicon Graphics Iris series 4, 5, 6 o IBM RS-6000 o PC 386/486/Pentium with Linux o NEC EWS4800 o NeXT: contact Patrick Phillips at University of Texas, NeXTmail: patrick@wbar.uta.edu email: phil@decster.uta.edu o There exist, or have existed, ports onto Alliant, Hewlett- Packard, Convex. You may have to contact the developer responsible for the port to make these real. * Windows 95/NT * Macintosh (not currently supported) The software is also available as source code, so you may be able to get it working on any machine. Memory requirements (from Richard Durbin, aug 97) The amount of memory you require for ACEDB depends very much on how big the database is (i.e. the disk space used by the database/ subdirectory). Our rule of thumb is that one typically uses 5-10Mb plus up to 10% of the disk space size of the database. So with a 200Mb database perhaps 25Mb memory, and with a 500Mb database (e.g. the C. elegans one) up to 50-60Mb. In fact for short sessions less memory is used -- it is only when all classes are explored, or for example when parsing big files that these amounts of memory get used. Return to List of Questions ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Q4: Can ACEDB be networked? A4: ACEDB Client / Server Computing (from Doug Bigwood, aug97) There are several client/server models for ACEDB computing and several more are in development. The start of the ACEDB client/server age began with the inclusion of aceclient and aceserver in version 4.0. These are C - based and use the RPC protocol for communication. These executables can be made from the standard ACEDB distributions. Starting in version 4.5 an xaceclient is also included with ACEDB. Xaceclient provides remote read/write access to an aceserver while providing the user with the same X displays that are found in xace. To use it, you create an empty database with the appropriate models and start xaceclient. It will automatically retrieve data from the server declared in wspec/server.wrm (the Montpellier server in the distribution server.wrm). The data will be saved locally and can then be viewed with a normal xace. A perl extension which provides aceclient functionality to Perl 5.x was developed at ACE95. The files necessary for this perl extension are now (ACEDB 4.5 and later) included in the wrpc directory of the ACEDB directory hierarchy. Documentation about how to extend perl is found at http://probe.nalusda.gov:8000/ace97/perlace/perlacecl.html. WWWAce and its successor webace were developed to provide a World Wide Web interface for ACEDB. Webace instructions can be found at http://probe.nal.usda.gov:8000/acedocs/webace.html, and http://probe.nal.usda.gov:8000/ace97/webace.html and the program itself at ftp://probe.nalusda.gov/pub/tools/webace.tar.gz. A Java-based client called Jade allows communication via sockets to an aceserver. Jade installation instructions and information on downloading can be found at http://probe.nalusda.gov:8000/ace97/Jade.installation.html. There are now development efforts underway to provide additional client/server functionality to ACEDB including a CORBA server and socket-based communications. These will likely be included in future versions of ACEDB. A new C library interface to ACEDB internals will greatly ease the development of new clients and servers that will support additional protocols. Subsequent developments (from Dave Matthews, jun98) New! A new version of webace, sometimes called webace2, has been developed at the Sanger Centre. It makes use of the new gifaceserver instead of aceserver to improve interactive response of the graphical displays, Javascript, Java, and a new Aceclient.pm module which can be installed into Perl without recompiling. It also supports the ACEDB ?URL class. The home page, with links to databases that are using it, documentation, and information about joining the webace mailing list, is at http://webace.sanger.ac.uk/. New! AcePerl, from Lincoln Stein, is an object-oriented Perl interface to ACEDB. It can connect to remote ACEDB databases, perform queries, fetch ACE objects, and update databases. The programmer's API is compatible with the Jade Java API. Home page at http://stein.cshl.org/AcePerl/. New! Jade and its documentation and demonstration databases have been updated. Its home page is now http://stein.cshl.org/jade/. Return to List of Questions ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Q5: What documentation exists for ACEDB? A5: From Sam Cartinhour: The ACEDB Documentation Library is a repository for documentation concerned with "A C. elegans Data Base", the generic genome database software designed by Richard Durbin (MRC, UK) and Jean Thierry-Mieg (CNRS, France). The server is intended as a resource for developers, curators, and end-users of all (not just plant) databases derived from ace. The ACEDB documentation server is sponsored by the Plant Genome Database Project at the National Agricultural Library (USDA). The WWW documentation server is part of the Agricultural Genome Information System, at http://probe.nalusda.gov:8000/acedocs/. Documents in Postscript, wordprocessor, and other non-html formats are available by ftp at ftp://probe.nalusda.gov/pub/acedocs/.

Return to List of Questions ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Q6: What newsgroups and mailing lists are available for ACEDB? A6: The USENET/BIOSCI conference bionet.software.acedb is dedicated to discussions of ACEDB. The newsgroup can be accessed via a newsreader like rn or tin, a WWW browser (news:bionet.software.acedb), or e-mail. To subscribe to the e-mail version, send the message "subscribe acedb" to biosci-server@net.bio.net. Mail sent to acedb@net.bio.net will be distributed to all subscribers and to the electronic conference. Articles posted to biosci.software.acedb are archived by BIOSCI at http://www.bio.net/archives.html and by Mike Cherry at http://genome-www.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/biosci_acedb. There is also a separate mailing list for announcements of new releases of the ACEDB (worm) database as well as the ACEDB software. To get on or off this mailing list send mail to rd@sanger.ac.uk or mieg@kaa.crbm.cnrs-mop.fr. The BIOSCI newsgroup is on this list. Return to List of Questions ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Q7 : Is there a repository of software tools for ACEDB curators? A7: Not really, but there are several partial ones. The main tools available are for converting data from other formats to .ace format. The Agricultural Genome Information System has a growing stock of useful tools at http://probe.nalusda.gov:8000/acedocs/conversion.html. Some additional ones were contributed at the ACE97 Workshop and can be found in the Proceedings, http://probe.nalusda.gov:8000/ace97/tools/. Mike Cherry maintains an archive of tools at ftp://genome-ftp.stanford.edu/pub/acedb_dev/utilities/ For a general tool for converting data to ACEDB format input files, Joachim Baumann (joachim.baumann@informatik.uni-stuttgart.de) has written the Perl program TextConvert, available at ftp.informatic.uni.stuttgart.de/pub/DART/. Pascal Hingamp has created a tool for mirroring remote databases to your own machine. UPace is a flexibly configurable, well documented Perl script intended to be adaptable to any ACEDB database available by ftp, with updating as often as you like. ftp://ftp.hgmp.mrc.ac.uk/pub/phingamp/ Return to List of Questions ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Q8: When and where is the next ACEDB Workshop? A8: The next ACEDB meeting is planned for summer 1998 in England. The ACE97 Conference and Workshop was held July 27 - August 9 at Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, USA. See the ACE97 Proceedings Page, http://probe.nalusda.gov:8000/ace97/proceedings.html for the results. The Proceedings from the May 1995 ACEDB Conference are available at http://probe.nalusda.gov:8000/acedocs/ace95/. A final summary report is available at http://probe.nalusda.gov:8000/acedocs/ace95/ace95.final.html. Also available online are collections of snapshots taken during the conference by Frank Eeckman and by Dave Matthews.

A9: From Jean Thierry-Mieg, 4/97: Obviously, i have a biased opinion, but i would say that acedb is to be recommended if the following criteria are met: 1) A very complex schema, that cannot be developed at once, but will need continuous refinement in parallel with the accumulation of the data 2) The type of questions that will be asked are rather complex, with rather fuzzy answers, that one tries to refine progressively. The acedb browsing capacities are useful in this case and have no equivalent in a relational dbms ______________ I would rather recommend sybase in the following case 1) Simple schema, that can be designed from the start and does not contain too many n.n relations and does not need recursivity 2) The type of questions that will be asked is: succession of de-correlated simple questions with simple answers ____________________ Within this context, i would then list the following goodies of acedb: 1) The ace file format, which is a powerful system to prepare and exchange data between data curators. 2) The existence of an easy graphic browsing interface 3) The availability of a biology-layer, if the application is about genetics 4) Portability (any unix machine), mac (with some limitations), windows (in development) and price (ace is a freeware). This implies that you can actually redistribute the complete system, say on a CD, something impossible with sybase. 5) Ease of use, i seriously believe that ace is much easier to configure and use than sybase. _____________________ Finally one should consider the following question: concurrency. Sybase has a well designed transaction system, which will allow roll backs and refined lockings. This is essential for an application like a booking agency, with many users in simultaneous write access. Ace is much simpler minded. The graphic acedb creates a global lock allowing a single user with write access at the time, and the modifications are not echoed to the other "read access" users in real time. The non graphic client server system allows parallel downloading of data by many users, it is intended for example for collection of robots sending their independent data in parallel. This is now well tested. A graphic client system is being developed and now runs in our hands, but is not yet released. -- Therefore, if you do need real time simultaneous write access with partial locks, and roll backs, use sybase/oracle ________________ Last issue is speed and quantities of data. In principle, sybase/oracle is unlimited, whereas acedb needs to keep around 5-10% of the data in ram. But this apparent difference is misleading. On a 32 Meg machine, you can run ace with around 300.000 objects with a complex schema at high speed. With say 1M objects, you will need more memory or the performance would totally degrade because of swapping. However, this is really a lot of data. On a similar machine, your sybase oracle will work with that amount or more data only if you do not perform too many joins. This implies that you are asking simple questions from a simple schema which was indeed our first criterion to choose sybase. If you start asking complex questions and make joins, acedb is actually much more powerful. During tests run on a big dec alpha server by Otto Ritter in decembre 1995 on several million biological objects with a complex schema, acedb was about 10 times faster than sybase, both to load the data and to answer queries. I would therefore conclude that the quantity of data is not a criterion pushing one way or the other, it is the complexity of the schema that matters.
