Doing a 'full record search' with a string that is a : partial word can get you a 'hit' because that string is found in the features : table translation. You initially think Stringsearch has located a database : entry based on a keyword, but that's not the case. GCG 8.1 is expected to have a SRS-derived program which can do such searches. SRS from Thure Etzold already today comes with 'getz' which can search both All-Text and any field of the database which is indexed in SRS. A networked version is under development for the ASCII interface, but SRSWWW provides these capabilities already today. Please contact me individually per email if you are interested in providing feedback for a networked ascii-text version.

PLEASE NOTE that many USENET sites do not allow automatic creation of new USENET groups!!! If you do not see bionet.software.srs in your newsreader within another day or two, ask your news system administrator to act on our "newgroup" message to enable the group at your site. We have already done several tests and are certain that the group is currently propagating around the network. If he/she can not find the newsgroup message, have them retrieve the bionet checkgroups message from the anonymous FTP area on net.bio.net in pub/BIOSCI/doc/bionet-checkgroups-msg. This file contains the latest list of bionet USENET newsgroups and can be used to update your bionet distribution. If the newgroup did not arrive at your site, it may also be necessary for your news administrator to contact the upstream computer site providing you with your newsfeed and determine if they acted on the newgroup message. Subscribing to this group: -------------------------- IF YOU USE USENET NEWS: you need do nothing other than participate in bionet.software.srs when it appears in your newsreader. Depending upon your news software, this may entail you having to answer a prompt indicating that you want to subscribe. You might also try the command "g bionet.software.srs" in rn-like newsreaders. IF YOU ARE LOCATED IN EUROPE, AFRICA, OR CENTRAL ASIA: please send the word help in the body of your message to MXT@dl.ac.uk to retrieve general server usage instructions. To subscribe to the BIO-SRS list, first be sure that you are sending mail from the address at which you wish to receive news postings, and then send the command SUB bionet-news.bionet.software.srs to MXT@dl.ac.uk. This message will be automatically read by the computer and your e-mail address will be extracted from the mail header and added to the list. IF YOU ARE LOCATED IN THE AMERICAS OR THE PACIFIC RIM: log in to the computer account in which you would like to receive mail (not an account that you use infrequently) and send a mail message to the Internet address biosci-server@net.bio.net Leave the Subject: line of the message blank and enter the following line into the body of the mail message: subscribe bio-srs This message will be automatically read by our computer and your e-mail address will be extracted from the mail header and added to the list. Canceling your subscription: ---------------------------- IF YOU ARE LOCATED IN EUROPE, AFRICA, OR CENTRAL ASIA: first be sure that you are sending mail from the address at which you signed up to receive news postings, and then send the command (in the body of your mail message) UNSUB bionet-news.bionet.software.srs to MXT@dl.ac.uk. This message will be automatically read by the computer and your e-mail address will be extracted from the mail header and removed from the list. IF YOU ARE LOCATED IN THE AMERICAS OR THE PACIFIC RIM: send a message to biosci-server@net.bio.net exactly as described above for subscribing except include the text unsubscribe bio-srs in the body of the message. Please be sure to send the message from the account whose address matches the one on the list. If your address differs, we will be notified automatically and will remove you manually from the list if we can determine what was your old address. Please contact biosci-help@net.bio.net if you have problems. IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM: ---------------------- Please send a message to one of the following addresses depending upon your location Address Location ------- -------- biosci@daresbury.ac.uk Europe, Africa, and Central Asia biosci-help@net.bio.net Americas and the Pacific Rim and someone on the staff will help you. PLEASE DO NOT send mail to our personal e-mail addresses as this will delay a response to your request for help. How to post a message to the group: ----------------------------------- If you use news, simply post a message into bionet.software.srs. Be sure to set your "distribution" to world or else the message might not leave your site!! To post by e-mail, mail your message to one of the following addresses depending upon your location: Posting Address Location --------------- -------- bio-srs@daresbury.ac.uk Europe, Africa, and Central Asia bio-srs@net.bio.net Americas and the Pacific Rim and your message will be distributed automatically to everyone on the list and the USENET newsgroup. There is no editorial intervention. PLEASE DO NOT SEND SUBSCRIPTION REQUESTS TO THE POSTING ADDRESSES as you will bother everyone on the newsgroup!!! How to reply to a message on the group: --------------------------------------- If you are using a newsreader, simply use the reply or follow-up command on your newsreader (these vary from program to program) to send either private or public replies. If you are using e-mail, replies to messages that you receive will *NOT* be automatically returned to the group. This is the standard for Internet mailing lists as opposed to BITNET LISTSERVs which often send all replies back to everyone. You must be certain that your reply contains either of the two newsgroup posting addresses above in your message header if you want to share it with everyone on the group. Otherwise in most cases your reply may go back to only the original poster of the message to which you are replying. ALWAYS be certain that you examine the address on your messages before you send them!!! Once a message is sent there is no way to cancel it or bring it back!!! Some non-Internet compliant mail systems may attempt to send replies to our error-trapping address called BIOSCI-REQUEST. If yours does this, please be sure to readdress your message to bio-srs@net.bio.net or bio-srs@daresbury.ac.uk if you want to send it to the newsgroup. How to look at archives of the list: ------------------------------------ You can access the BIOSCI archives via WWW/Mosaic. The URL is http://www.bio.net/. After clicking on the BIOSCI archives link, look for the BIO-SRS folder. Archives for BIO-SRS/bionet.software.srs are also kept in the anonymous FTP account at net.bio.net [134.172.2.69]. Look in the directory pub/BIOSCI/BIO-SRS for posting archives. Each file is assigned a date such as 9312 for December 1993. Please note that ours is a UNIX system and all file and directory names are case-sensitive, i.e., upper case file names are different from lower case names. You can also access these same files via Gopher if you start a gopher session using net.bio.net as your gopher server. Gopher also allows you to view the individual messages within each monthly archive file. The files are in the BIO-SRS directory. Postings to bionet.software.srs are also WAIS indexed and can be searched via either gopher or WAIS at our site. In gopher the option at net.bio.net is "Search Bionet USENET Articles" and in WAIS one should use the WAIS source biosci.src. This is a WAIS index of all BIOSCI/bionet messages including this newsgroup. Please see the BIOSCI FAQ for details. The FAQ can be requested from biosci-help@net.bio.net. Once again, if you have any administrative questions that require personal assistance, please address them to biosci-help@net.bio.net in the U.S. or biosci@daresbury.ac.uk in the UK. Best wishes for a successful newsgroup! Sincerely, Dave Kristofferson BIOSCI/bionet Manager biosci-help@net.bio.net
