Accessing the GIS Master Bibliography

       Access to current files is available via anonymous FTP for
those individuals and organizations having access to the Internet.
Because of copyright restrictions, files will be restricted to
those instances where formal agreements have been signed with the
publishers.

     To access the currently available files enter the following
commands:

     ftp 128.146.209.34  (this is BASTET.SBS.OHIO-STATE.EDU)

when you are asked to log in, respond with the user name of

     anonymous

when you are asked for a password, please respond with your
Internet address.

     When the log on operation is completed, change to the
appropriate directory by using one of the following commands:

     cd biblio                (this places you in the base direc-
                              tory for the project -- several
                              ASCII information files are located
                              here)

     cd /biblio/gis.refer     (this places you in a directory with
                              files in REFER (ASCII) format)

     cd /biblio/gis.pc        (this places you in a directory with
                              files in EndNote format for the PC)

     cd /biblio/gis.mac       (this places you in a directory with 
                              files in EndNote format for the Mac)

     You may now copy any of the available files. For example, to
copy the ASCII bibliographic entries for the 1992 Spatial Data
Handling Symposium select the gis.refer directory and issue the
command:

     get sdh92.refer

FTP also supports the command mget which permits the retrieval of
multiple files using wild card specifications. For example to
retrieve all of the ASCII files dealing with the various Spatial
Data Handling Symposia, select the gis.refer directory and issue
the command:

     mget sdh*.*

If you are planning to copy either the PC or Mac versions of the
EndNote binary files, you must issue the following command before
issuing the command to get a copy of the desired file:

     binary

After the file(s) have been copied, they should reside in your
default directory on your home machine. To leave the FTP session,
issue the final command:

     quit

that returns you to your home machine.
