The problem has been solved.
What happened was that I had been testing cgi-scripts from the shell,
and had therefore set the REQUEST_METHOD variable to POST. This caused
wgetz to fail.
Lesson: always start from a new shell.....
Best regards,

Let us do it!


Add the following function  to wgetz.c

static void PageSelectLibrary();

static void PageSelectLibrary()
{

  if (ParGetBool("isJava") ) {
    PageSelectLibrary_Java();
  }
  else {
    PageSelectLibrary_NoJava();
  }
}


Rename

   PageSelectLibraryOld()  to
     PageSelectLibrary_NoJava()

and

 PageSelectLibrary() to
   PageSelectLibrary_Java()



Add the following to   icarus/util/parameter.i

     $parameter:["isJava" type:bool num:0
      comment:"Supports for JavaScript "]


Add the following  to   icarus/util/arglist.i

   $arg:[name:"-java"  parameter:"isJava"]



add the following in the srswww.i   under section

$selectLibraryActive=  ,   somewhere

    |<NOSCRIPT>
    |<IMG SRC=/srs5/images/achtung.gif ALIGN=middle>
    |<H2>SRS requires a javascript enabled browser</H2>
    |<I> Enable javascript option in the preferences menu of your browser </I>
    |<P>
    | <A HREF=($ParStr:cgidir)/wgetz?-start> Restart without javaScript </A>
    |</NOSCRIPT>


do a   srssection  and
srsmake wgetz

Now it is ready, you can use javaScript functionality with

wgetz+-start+-java


Now the default is no Java !


Cheers !

well, Jonathon Weare thought that srs5 would work only with netscape4 but
there is a problem only with netscape4 clients were javascript is turned
off - my guess is that most people don't even KNOW that javascript can
be disabled in their clients;=)

While i am not exactly a 'javascript lover' i can't see good reasons why it
should be disabled. I found the experiment with the "top page" rather
successful and already changed the "link page" in srs5.2 in a similar
manner. In general we will be adding more and more javascript code to our
pages ...any good reasons why we shouldn't?

None whatsoever, provided you test with each of Navigator 3 and 4 and
Internet Explorer 3 and 4 on X, Windows and Mac to make sure that
everything works the same on each browser on each platform.... and provide
a good system for detecting that javascript is turned off and talking the
naive user through the process of turning it back on again should they
wish.

I like the javascript interface very much - databank selection is easier -
I turn javascript on before using SRS. No reason as far as I know -
javascript works well on netscape*.

If only I could get the netscape 5 code to compile, then I could try to enable
javascript (and java) for a list of sites. Expect it will be added anyway :)

Fully agree. However, using fancy javascript can result in
unexpected (platform dependend?) problems. Bare HTML is more
waterproof I think). Example:
When starting a new SRS session while the SRS pages are in a
frame, using Netscape4.03 on Irix6.2 (and Netscape 4 on win95) this
results in a javascript error: parent.frames["liblist"] has no
properties. 

However still no reason for not using Javascript I think. I'll
just have to make our link to srs5 go to a new browserwindow.

Regards,
Koen.

Dear Colleague

	Advanced Chemistry Development Inc. (ACD), a leader in Cheminformatics
software, has just released Protein Manager, the newest member of its
extensive software family.  This remarkable software package, coupled wit=
h
the Swissprot, Prosite, PDB, ACD Restriction Enzyme and (soon to follow) =
ACD
Regulatory Protein Databases, will dramatically accelerate peptide drug
discovery.
	The primary functions of Protein Manager are protein analysis, data
management and data publishing.  Software operation is easy, simply load
candidate proteins into the Protein Manager 'protein workbook' and perfor=
m a
multitude of functions including:

-Isoelectric point determination
-Batch Phys-Chem property predictions
-Protein secondary structure prediction ( including Predator prediction
method)
-Multiple protein alignment with consensus matching
-Enzymatic digestion of selected proteins (ACD enzyme database)
-Protein scale determination (hydrophobicity, polarity, bulkiness...)
-3D viewing of all available Protein Database (PDB) files

	Furthermore, proteins may be generated at random in Protein Manager, or
modified from existing protein files.  It's as easy as cut, copy and
pasting.  Please feel free to visit our web site and download a demo copy=
 or
product video preview, both available March 31st.  Should you have any
questions regarding Protein Manager, please feel free to contact one of o=
ur

****************************************************************
You send $1.00 to each of the 6 names and address stated in the article. You 
then place your own name and address in the bottom of the list at #6, and
post the article in at least 200 newsgroups. No catch, that was it. The
main difference between this system and others is that you have a
mailing list of 6 instead of 5... This means that your average gain will be 
app. 15 times higher!!!
So after thinking it over, I thought about trying it. I figured what
have I got to lose except 6 stamps and $6.00?
If you are worried about the legal aspects of it all, check it out with
the U.S. Post Office (1-800-725-2161). It is legal!  I have invested the
$6.00.............
The process is very simple and consists of 3 easy steps. You may
wonder why I tell you this?  It's only possible with your desire to
become wealthy too. So go for it!
Here are the steps:
STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each
piece of paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST." Now get 6 US$1.00
bills (or equivalent in your local currency) and place ONE inside EACH
of the 6 pieces of paper so the bill will not be seen through the
envelope to prevent thievery. Next, place one paper in each of the 6
envelopes and seal them. You should now have 6 sealed envelopes, each
with a piece of paper stating the above phrase, your name and address,
and a $1.00 bill. What you are doing is creating a service by this. 
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL!
Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses:



#1    B. Johansen, Nyborgvej 279 st mf, 5220 Odense SOE, Denmark

#2    E. Pearce, P.O. Box 166, Townsend, DE 19734, USA

#3    G. Montgomery, P.O. Box 38, Warwick, MD 21919, USA

#4    W.Doyle, P.O. Box 196686, Winter Springs, FL, 32719, USA

#5    T.Lemke, Baumstr.24, 42651 Solingen, Germany

#6    Nicholas Socrates, Homedene, St Brelade's Bay, Jersey, United Kingdom, JE3 8EA



STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the
other names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc...) and add YOUR Name as
number 6 on the list.
STEP 3: Change anything you need to. Now, post your amended article to
at least 200 newsgroups. (There is a bunch out there). All you need is
200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you make!  Don't
know HOW to post in the newsgroups? Well do exactly the following:
-----------------------------------------------------------
DIRECTIONS - HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS
-----------------------------------------------------------
Step 1.  You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own
posting. Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this letter and
click and hold down your mouse button. While
continuing to hold down the mouse button, drag your cursor to the 
bottom of this document and over to just after the last character, and release
the mouse button. At this point the entire
letter should be highlighted. Then, from the 'edit' pull down menu at
the top of your screen select 'copy'. This will copy the entire letter
into the computers memory.
Step 2.  Open a blank 'notepad' file and place your cursor at the top 
of the blank page. From the 'edit' pull down menu select 'paste'. This 
will paste a copy of the letter into notepad so
that you can add your name to the list. Remember to eliminate the #1
position, move everyone up a spot (re-number everyone else's 
positions), and add yourself in as #6.
Step 3.  Save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If you want to do
your postings in different sittings, you'll always have this file to go
back to.
----------------------------------------
FOR NETSCAPE USERS:
----------------------------------------
Step 4.  Within the Netscape program, go to the pull down window
entitled 'Window' select 'NetscapeNews'. Then from the pull down menu
'Options', select 'Show all Newsgroups'. After a few moments a list of
all the newsgroups on your server will show up. Click on any newsgroup
you desire. From within this newsgroup, click on the 'TO NEWS' button,
which should be in the top left corner of the newsgroups page. This 
will bring up a message box.
Step 5.  Fill in the Subject. This will be the header that everyone 
sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a particular group.
Step 6.  Highlight the entire contents of your .txt file and copy them
using the same technique as before. Go back to the newsgroup 'TO NEWS'
posting you are creating and paste the letter into the body of your
posting.
Step 7.  Hit the 'Send' Button in the upper left corner. You're done
with your first one! Congratulations...
--------------------------------------------------
INTERNET EXPLORER USERS:
--------------------------------------------------
Step 4.  Go to newsgroups and select 'Post an Article'.
Step 5.  Fill in the subject.
Step 6.  Same as #6 above
Step 7.  Hit the 'Post' button.
-------------------------------------------
THAT'S IT! All you have to do is jump to different newsgroups and post
away, after you get the hang of it, it will take about 30 seconds for
each newsgroup!
**REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY 
YOU WILL
MAKE!! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200** That's it! You will 
begin receiving money from around the world within day's! You may eventually
want to rent a P.O. Box due to the large amount of mail you receive. If
you wish to stay anonymous, you can invent a name to use, 
as long as the postman will deliver it. **JUST MAKE SURE
ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT.** Now the WHY part:  Out of 200 
postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a very low example).  So then I made 
$5.00 with my name at #6 on the letter. Now, each of the 5 persons who just
sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200 postings, each
with my name at #5 and only 5 persons respond to each of the original
5,  that is another $25.00 for me, now those 25 each make 200 MINIMUM
posts with my name at #4 and only 5 replies each, I will bring in an
additional $125.00! Now, those 125 persons turn around and post the
MINIMUM 200 with my name at #3 and only receive 5 replies each, I will
make an additional $626.00! OK, now here is the fun part, each of those
625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with my name at #2 and they each
only receive 5 replies, that just made me $3,125.00!!! Those 3,125
persons will all deliver this message to 200 newsgroups with my name at
#1 and if still 5 persons per 200 newsgroups react I will receive
$15,625,00! With a original investment of only $6.00! AMAZING! And as I
said 5 responses is actually VERY LOW! Average is probable 20 to 30! So
lets put those figures at just 15 responses per person. Here is what 
you will make:
at #6 $15.00
at #5 $225.00
at #4 $3,375.00
at #3 $50,625.00
at #2 $759,375.00
at #1 $11,390,625.00
When your name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest
posting in the newsgroups, and send out another $6.00 to names on the
list, putting your name at number 6 again( That's what I am doing), and
start posting again. The thing to remember is, do you realize that
thousands of people all over the world are joining the internet and
reading these articles everyday, JUST LIKE YOU are now!! So can you afford $6.00 and
see if it really works?? I think so... People have said, "what if the plan is
played out and no one sends you the money? So what! What are the 
chances of that happening when there are tons of new honest users and new 
honest people who are joining the internet and newsgroups everyday and are
willing to give it a try? Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users,
every day, with thousands of those joining the actual internet.
Remember, play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will work. You just have to
be honest.
Make sure you print this article out RIGHT NOW, also. Try to keep a 
list of everyone that sends you money and always keep an eye on the
newsgroups to make sure everyone is playing fairly. Remember, HONESTY 
IS THE BEST POLICY. You don't need to cheat the basic idea to make the
money!!
GOOD LUCK to all and please play fairly and reap the huge rewards from
this, which is tons of extra CASH.
**BY THE WAY, if you try to deceive people by posting the messages with
your name in the list and not sending the money to the rest of the
people already on the list, you will NOT get as much. Someone I talked
to knew someone who did that and he only made about $150.00, and that's
after seven or eight weeks! Then he sent the 6 $1.00 bills, people 
added him to their lists, and in 4-5 weeks he had over $10k. This is the
fairest and most honest way I have ever seen to share the wealth of the
world without costing anything but our time!!! You also may want to buy
mailing and e-mail lists for future dollars.  Please remember to 
declare your extra income. Thanks once again...
"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their 
dreams."

Not platform dependent - this javascript doesn't work inside a frame.

Hi there,

 perhaps an easy question for you:
how can you calculate in icarus with reals?

e.g.
$num=2.5
$result=$num*2

the last line doesn't work: 
error: option is not known in this context, "type in IopAss"

Do we need to use an icarus function for operations on reals?

Thanks in advance,
Koen and Jan.

Hello,

I found "off" parametor for srsbuild command, but explanation of 
off-line mode is not detail.
So i recognized about off-line mode a little.

Please tell me what and how to use off-line mode.

I use SRS 5.1.0 on Solaris 2.4 .

regards.

Some of you may remember that I could not get SRS to compile under
RedHat 5.

 ==> Problem Solved <==

I had a few minutes spare so decided to try again, this time reading ALL
the error messages...

 "icadebug" was falling over because of problems with unresolved
references in _termio_

Cure: for Redhat termio.h is in /usr/include/termio.h
NOT /usr/include/sys/ !

	a one line edit to src/termio.c cured that!

--- 43,49 ----
  #else
  #  include <stdlib.h>
  /*#  include <sys/ttychars.h> linux doesn't have that - is in bsd/sys
*/
! #  include <sys/termio.h>
  #endif  

to 
#  include <termio.h>

Hope this is of help to others...

database described in another item further below.


2) What to do about "spams," i.e., junk mail, ads, etc.
-------------------------------------------------------
BIOSCI is a set of parallel USENET newsgroups (the "bionet" groups),
mailing lists, and a hypermail archive at URL http://www.bio.net/.
The same postings are distributed on all media (except for a small
number of mailing-list-only groups at net.bio.net).  Unfortunately it
is becoming a despicable practice on the Internet (by a few people out
to make a fast buck) to do automated mass postings to thousands of
newsgroups and mailing lists.  These attempts to grab free advertising
are refered to as "spams" in the usual, somewhat boneheaded, net
terminology.  USENET is more susceptible to this practice, and many
spams originate on the USENET groups and then are passed on to the
mailing lists.  However, spammers also get lists of mailing addresses
and hit these too, so neither medium is immune.

What should you do personally if you get junk mail?
---------------------------------------------------
Just delete it and move on without reading it further.  Filing a
protest is becoming increasingly useless because spammers are often
disguising the addresses where the messages are sent from.  Unless you
really understand Internet mail systems, your attempt at protest by
sending replies to the message will often end up being sent to the
address of an innocent person that the spammer is victimizing.

What can BIOSCI/bionet do to protect its newsgroups?
----------------------------------------------------
The only solution currently available is to moderate the newsgroup.
If this newsgroup is already moderated, then you are in good shape.
Moderation protects the USENET distribution from about 95% of the
spams that are being sent to date and protects the mailing lists
completely.  Moderation means, however, that someone has to take the
time to review each message before it goes out.  We have set up
software here that simply allows the moderator to forward to an
address at net.bio.net messages that (s)he wishes to have distributed.
This takes no more time than that needed to read the message and pass
it on, say about 1 min. per message.

Most newsgroups currently have a discussion leader who is responsible
for their newsgroup.  The discussions leaders and their e-mail
addresses are listed in the BIOSCI Information Sheet which is
available on the Web at http://www.bio.net/.  If a newsgroup is being
hit with too many junk postings, please contact the discussion leader
for that group and see if there is interest in moderating the group.
Please do not assume that by simply posting a complaint to the
newsgroup itself, anyone on the BIOSCI staff will act on your
complaint.  With close to 100 newsgroups to run, the BIOSCI staff has
to rely on the discussion leaders of each newsgroup to report problems
directly to us at biosci-help@net.bio.net.

We will moderate any of our newsgroups if the discussion leader tells
us that the readership of the group wishes to do so and if a moderator
is willing to do the work.  For most BIOSCI/bionet groups, this
entails only a few minutes of work each day.

Moderating a newsgroup will resolve probably 95% of the junk postings
on the USENET distribution.  Unfortunately there are easy ways for
determined spammers to override the moderation mechanism on USENET,
but we can protect our e-mail subscribers from unwanted postings if
the newsgroup is moderated.  You can also access our newsgroups over
the WWW at URL http://www.bio.net.  While this Web interface will not
stop spammers from trying to post to the groups, this will give you
yet another way, besides using USENET news, to keep the junk out of
your personal mail files.  For those of you with local USENET news
systems, the Web interface will also give you faster access to new
newsgroups and recent postings.


3) Examples of subscribing and unsubscribing to the mailing lists.
------------------------------------------------------------------
PLEASE NOTE: The BIOSCI management does NOT act on
subscription/unsubscription requests that are posted improperly to the
newsgroups and mailing lists.  People who do this only bother everyone
on the lists to no avail.  Please be sure to follow the proper
procedures below.

Gory details are in the BIOSCI Information sheets on the Web at
http://www.bio.net.  Below we give an example utilizing the
METHODS-AND-REAGENTS list at both of our two BIOSCI sites:

Users in the Americas and Pacific Rim countries who use the BIOSCI
------------------------------------------------------------------
node at computer net.bio.net:
----------------------------

A) Determine the "listname" which is the <=8 character mail address
                                         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
   for the group.  These can be found in the BIOSCI Info. Sheet.  For
   the METHODS-AND-REAGENTS group the mailing address is
   methods@net.bio.net.  The listname is the portion of the address to
   the left of the @ sign, i.e., "methods".  The listname is used with
   the "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" commands illustrated below.

B) Mail all commands in the body of a mail message addressed to
   biosci-server@net.bio.net.  Do NOT send commands to the newsgroup
   posting addresses!  Leave the Subject: line blank, any text on it
   will be ignored.

C) In the body of your message put one or more of the following
   commands with an "end" command on the last line, e.g.,

   subscribe methods
   unsubscribe methods
   end

   Do NOT put your e-mail address or other text on these lines.  The
   server only allows you to cancel your subscription if the address
   on your mail header matches the address on our mailing list.
   Please ask for help at biosci-help@net.bio.net if your address has
   changed, e.g., if you know you are on the list but the server tells
   you that you are not a member.


Users in Europe, Africa, and Central Asia who use the BIOSCI node at
--------------------------------------------------------------------
computer daresbury.ac.uk (also known as dl.ac.uk):
-------------------------------------------------

To subscribe and unsubscribe to/from the BIOSCI lists, you need to
specify the full USENET newsgroup name with "bionet-news." prepended.
The USENET newsgroup names are listed in the BIOSCI Information sheet
on the Web at http://www.bio.net/.  For the METHODS-AND-REAGENTS list
the USENET newsgroup name is bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts, thus the
appropriate commands are

    sub bionet-news.bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts

    unsub bionet-news.bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts

These commands are included in a message addressed to mxt@dl.ac.uk,
NOT to the newsgroup mailing addresses.  As usual, include the text in
the body of the message as text on the Subject: line is ignored.

To unsubscribe from all the lists at the UK node, use

    unsub bionet-news

Please note that if the address in the list is different than the one
in your mail message header, you will not be able to unsubscribe by
this method. If you have problems, please mail biosci@daresbury.ac.uk.


4) The BIOSCI user address and research interest directory.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Please take this opportunity to add your name, address, and research
interest information to the BIOSCI User Address Database if you have
not already done so.

You can fill out the address form directly through our Web page at URL
http://www.bio.net/adrform.html.

The address database is reindexed nightly for WWW access (the URL is
http://www.bio.net/).  If you are not directly on the Internet but can
reach it by e-mail, please use our waismail server to access the user
directory.  waismail use is described above.  You can also request a
user address form by e-mail from biosci-help@net.bio.net.

Please check your database entry from time-to-time to see if your
address information is still up-to-date.  Because of our limited
personnel resources, we ask that you resubmit a *complete* form to
revise your entry; we only replace complete entries and do not have
resources to edit old forms.

Hi;

Having spent the past three days generating SRS indices on a UNIX box for 
the GCG lookup program, I  would like to be able to reuse these with the 
webserver SRS system; is this possible or do I need to regenerate a 
whole new set of indices; it's not so clear to me from the manual.

Thanks
Greg
