From owner-celegans@net.bio.net Tue Sep 27 23:00:00 1994 Path: biosci!EATWORMS.SWMED.EDU!leon From: leon@EATWORMS.SWMED.EDU ("Leon Avery") Newsgroups: bionet.celegans Subject: electronic WBG (again) Date: 28 Sep 1994 14:21:45 -0700 Organization: BIOSCI International Newsgroups for Molecular Biology Lines: 35 Sender: daemon@net.bio.net Distribution: world Message-ID: <9409281621.ZM12594@eatworms.swmed.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: net.bio.net I've added a new item to our C elegans WWW server (http://eatworms.swmed.edu/) allowing electronic submission of Gazette abstracts. Go to the "CGC Bibliography, Worm Breeder's Gazette, and other literature" page, then select "Submit an abstract to the WBG". This will bring up a page with a space where you can paste your abstract, right from your word processor. When you click "Preview", it will show you what it would look like, and give you the opportunity to actually submit it. I'd like to invite people to give it a try. There's a "Fake it" option, so you can try it out without actually submitting anything. Furthermore, this page can be used to submit text for old numbers of the Gazette, or for the issue about to be mailed, so you may want to do it for real. Like e-mail submission (WBG-SUBMIT@ELEGANS.CBS.UMN.EDU), this electronic submission is *in addition* to submission on paper. The main advantage over e-mail submission is that you get instructions and feedback along the way. NOTE: you must have a WWW browser that can handle FORMs. The only popular browser out there that doesn't is MacMosaic version 1. If you're still using MacMosaic 1, you'll need to get either MacMosaic 2 (from ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu) or MacWeb (from ftp.einet.net) to use this feature. (There's lots of other neat stuff on the Web that uses FORMs, so it's worth doing anyway.) -- Leon Avery (214) 648-2420 (office) Department of Biochemistry -2768 (lab) University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center -8856 (fax) 5323 Harry Hines Blvd leon@eatworms.swmed.edu Dallas, TX 75235-9038 .
