This message is being posted to the following Listserv's: GOVDOC-L,
PACS-L, AHC-L, VWAR-L, SOS-DATA, OR-L, IASSIST, and ARCHIVES.
please forgive any duplication.  This message revises information
posted originally on April 22, 1993.

In response to comments received about an earlier version of the
Center for Electronic Records' Title List, we have reformatted
the file to a line length of 80 characters.  The Title List
currently has 10,383 lines.

=================================================================
The Center for Electronic Records of the U.S. National Archives
and Records Administration has established an FTPable directory.
The FTP directory can be accessed by FTPing to FTP.CU.NIH.GOV
(128.231.64.7).  Log on as an anonymous user; press enter (or
enter your user name) at password prompt.  The directory in which
this information is stored is CNTR_ELEC_RECS (CD CNTR_ELEC_RECS).
Use the FTP GET command to retrieve copies of materials.

In this directory are four files: a READ.ME file describing the
contents of the files in the directory; Title List, a Preliminary
and Partial listing of data files in the National Archives
(TITLE.LIST.MAY0793), a guide to some of the records in the
custody of the Center; a file containing a brief description of
the Center (CENTER), and a description of the fee based reference
services provided by the Center (SERVICES).

To gauge the usefulness of this service, Center staff would be
interested in reactions from those who experiment with using any
of these files.  We are interested in suggestions for
improvement, any criticisms, and general comments.

I hope this information is useful.  If you have any questions,
please contact me at the Center for Electronic Records (NSX),
ATTN: Reference Staff, National Archives, Washington, DC 20408.
The telephone number is (202) 501-5579.  I can also be reached
via Internet at tif@cu.nih.gov or BITNET at TIF@NIHCU.
