Martin,

Would you post this announcement about our file server upgrade on SEQNET
please.  (It's finally accessible from JANET!)

Thanks,

Dave.

                           EMBL Network File Server
                           ------------------------

We are pleased to be able to announce a major upgrade to the EMBL file server.
The server now accepts STANDARD ELECTRONIC MAIL, sent either over BITNET/EARN
or FROM ANY OTHER NETWORK WHICH HAS A GATEWAY INTO BITNET/EARN. This means, to
take just two examples, that users in the UK connected to JANET and users in
the USA connected to ARPANET can now use the file server.

You should send mail to the BITNET/EARN address NETSERV@EMBL; it should be
formatted with one file server command per line.  The most important command,
to get you started, is HELP. If the file server receives this command, it will
return a help file to you, explaining in some detail what you can do with the
server and how to use it.

Please note that the operating system command you use to send mail to a
BITNET/EARN address, and the way in which you format the address NETSERV@EMBL,
will depend both on the computer you are using and on the network to which it
is connected. If you don't already know how to send mail to a BITNET/EARN
address, we suggest that you contact your local computer service; if all else
fails, contact the Data Library and we will do our best to help.

For example, suppose you are using a VAX/VMS system which is a BITNET/EARN node
running JNET software.  In this case you would use the VMS MAIL command to send
mail to the server.  If you wanted to send a HELP command, your session on the
VAX would look like this (user input in lowercase):

$ MAIL
MAIL>  send
To:      jnet%"netserv@embl"
Subj:
help
<ctrl/z>

If the command you use to send mail allows you to specify a "subject", as in
the above example, then please note that anything you specify as the "subject"
will be treated as a file server command.

Those of you who have already used the server, by sending interactive messages
over BITNET/EARN, should note that this access method is still available.
However, it offers no advantages over standard electronic mail and we would
recommend that you switch to the latter.

We would like to emphasise that you can use the file server to download
sequences added to the EMBL database since the current release was distributed,
in addition to the sequences in the current release itself.

We are well aware that the file server is not (yet!) perfect, and are planning
several enhancements.  The most important ones are to give users direct access
to sequences by accession number as well as by entry name, and to make index
files available which cover just those sequences added to the database since
the current release was distributed.  (Such index files would be much smaller
than the current ones, which cover all sequences in the database, and would
thus be sent much more quickly over computer networks.)

We hope to make progress on the question of direct access by accession number
in the not too distant future, and would like to draw your attention to the
fact that one of the index files (the catalogue of one-line entry descriptions)
is already available for new sequences only.  The file DATALIB:NEWENTS.TXT
contains brief descriptions, entry names and sequence lengths for all those
sequences added to the database since the current release was distributed. Like
all of the other index files, it is updated daily to include all sequences
newly added to the database.

If you have any technical problems in accessing the file server then please
mail to POSTMASTER@EMBL.EARN.  If you have any general comments about the file
server (or any other aspect of our services) then please send them to us; we
want to tailor our services to meet your requirements, and the more feedback we
get the better.  We cannot undertake to respond personally to all comments,
but you can be sure that we want to know what you think!

                         POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH ASSOCIATE

              EUKARYOTIC GENE EXPRESSION/PROTEIN-DNA INTERACTIONS


    Applications are invited for a three year postdoctoral position funded
by the SERC Molecular Recognition Initiative to study yeast gene regulatory
proteins.   The work will use biochemical/molecular biological and NMR
spectroscopic techniques to study the structure and function of these proteins.
Applicants with experience in biochemistry/molecular biology would
be very welcome, but candidates with other relevant backgrounds are encouraged
to apply.

    The post is available (starting date negotiable) at a starting salary
within the range 9,305 -13,675 pounds (according to age and experience).
Applicants should apply before 31st June, sending a full C.V. naming two
academic referees, to Dr. E.D. Laue, Department of Biochemistry, University of
Cambridge, Tennis Court Road, Cambridge, CB2 1QW, U.K., (telephone Cambridge
333677) from whom further details may be obtained.

                           POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH ASSOCIATE

             PARALLEL PROCESSING/PROTEIN STRUCTURE DETERMINATION


    Applications are invited for a three year postdoctoral position funded
jointly by the SERC and Meiko Ltd. to work on the development of software for
NMR data processing, including the Maximum Entropy Method (MEM), and protein
structure determination.   The software will be implemented on a Meiko
Computing Surface, a parallel processor based on the Inmos Transputer.    The
successful applicant will collaborate with workers at Meiko Ltd. in Bristol and
will be based in Cambridge.   Applicants with experience in parallel computing
or structure determination using NMR spectroscopy/X-ray diffraction would be
particularly welcome.  However, candidates with other relevant backgrounds are
encouraged to apply.
