Good. Many computing folk have not yet realized that librarians are intrinsically their friends and colleagues. BUT! Not just any librarians -- some of them are old fogies who still think that libraries consist of cellulose fibers and carbon particles. Luckily, the astronomy community is blessed with some of the finest, smartest, most avant guarde librarians that I can imagine.

Freezing rain and/or snow is still coming down, so I have not yet begun to shovel it. The work will be hard because there is a lot of ice. Sigh... Anyway, I decided to spend the day in my study, on the modem, improving the tools for processing

Use the URL "http://fractal.ucs.indiana.edu/", then choose "Education Program Catalog" from the first screen. On the Index page, go to the bottom and choose the picture of Trevor the big cat, and it'll show you all the source that are used to create the catalog.

The page http://fits.cv.nrao.edu/www/yp_master.html is the merged list of this release in canonical format. An interesting new feature of this release is the merging of resource records. An example is the record(s) for EUVE in my 'Space Observatories' category. The input file contains two records for EUVE, with the same URL but different text. One of them is now appended to the other one, indented and with a note saying 'The following resource is similar (same URL, different text):'. Obviously I intend to edit my merged file to combine the duplicated information into one resource record. The syntactic checker program 'dtcheck' (file://fits.cv.nrao.edu/fits/www/astroweb/dtcheck) is working rather well now. I invoke it in my Makefile, and it has already found some typos. I have started building another program called 'dtdiff'. It is going to compare two
files and generate a page of differences between the two sets of resource records. I expect that I will be able to use the output as an automatic 'What's New' page, and it will also be a useful tool when maintaining the resource database. I made many changes to program 'dtsplit' to make it more easily configurable. My assumption is that others may want to use it, and that they may want to have a very different arrangement of their categories and pages. For example, the ST-ECF, STScI and NRAO pages have three different arrangements. I am now very near to the point that dtsplit could generate any of the three styles. Currently the configuration information appears in the BEGIN{} section of the AWK program file://fits.cv.nrao.edu/fits/www/astroweb/dtsplit (dtsplit is still being modified, and has various things commented-out). It is possible to have special header text for any output page (I am using this feature for several of my pages -- see the text at the top of my "Astronomy Text-Searching Servers" page.) It is also possible to append special text to all of the output pages, and I am using this feature to add the
lines at the bottom. At the moment my pages do not say anything about what is happening with all of our discussions and development efforts, but I will probably put some indication into my home page soon. I have two things in mind: (1) users should be told to send additions and change reports to astroweb@fits.cv.nrao.edu (so both of you will see them) and (2) my pages need to acknowledge the fact that they now contain resource records from the ST-ECF pages. I have added only part of the ST-ECF resources, and I have not yet fully configured the categories to support the ones I have installed, but some of Hans-Martin's records are definitely present in the output (e.g., the EUVE case mentioned above). I expect to have all of the ST-ECF resources integrated within about a week, and also to catch up with my backlog of new items and change orders. -Don From dwells Tue Feb 15 11:21:55 1994 Received: by fits.cv.nrao.edu (4.1/DDN-DLB/1.5) id AA00613; Tue, 15 Feb 94 11:21:55 EST Return-Path: Date: Tue, 15 Feb 94 11:21:54 EST From: dwells (Don Wells) Message-Id: <9402151621.AA00605@fits.cv.nrao.edu> To: astroweb Subject: try URL=http://guinan.gsfc.nasa.gov/W3/Astro.html Sender: astroweb-request@fits.CV.NRAO.EDU The Uniform Resource Locator for this document is: http://guinan.gsfc.nasa.gov/W3/Astro.html Astronomy Astronomical information on the Internet Remote file stsci.edu/stsci/epa/gif Goddard Space Flight Center (NSSDC) (gopher).

I inserted CATEGORY lines with code 'stecf'. I then modified my Makefile to cat my file with your file and feed the result to program dtsort. I configured dtsplit to put code 'stecf' in the 'Misc' page (http://fits.cv.nrao.edu/www/astroweb/yp_misc.html) as a temporary expedient. Within a day or two I will be able to substitute your codes for 'stecf', and produce a completely merged list, with probably 200+ records. Program dtsort is doing exactly what I intended: it makes it possible to merge these lists by trivial means (only a 'cat'). I append the output from the 'make'.

There are duplicate records to be pruned, various classifications that need to be changed, and text to be added/deleted/revised, but the bottom-line fact is that my new pages are no longer just my work, they are a union of the two previous sets of pages. I have revised my home page to reflect this fact. The new introductory text also has a pointer to STScI. I have deleted my temporary files and old versions, and have committed myself fully and irrevocably to the new system. I am pleased with the way the
    format has worked out. Several recent new resources received by Email included paragraphs of text description, and I just put these into
    fields. A few minutes ago I wanted to check the classification of a resource, so I clicked on it, got its home page, which began with a historical overview paragraph. I cut that paragraph out of the Mosaic window and dropped it into the
    field intact. This system works. I have not yet installed OWNER records; that will be hard work, and will take a lot of time. The combined STECF-NRAO database is 262 records totalling 55.8_KB, and is: http://fits.cv.nrao.edu/www/yp_master.html ftp://fits.cv.nrao.edu/fits/www/yp_master.html I intend to add configuration-option features to dtsplit until it can make pages that are similar to the current STScI and STECF pages. Also, I am still working on dtdiff in the background. Should I proceed to integrate the STScI records with the STECF-NRAO merged database? If "yes", what anonFTP address? I really like the
    paragraphs that many of the STScI resource records have! (the WAIS engine will like them too) I append the 'make install' output for the run that did the final merger of the two databases.

Sender: astroweb-request@fits.CV.NRAO.EDU Bob, Hans-Martin, What will be our policy on the old-style WAIS gateway URLs? I suppressed them in my WAIS URLs several weeks ago after Sarah Stevens-Rayburn asked why I was still offering both gateway and direct URLs. I decided that now, more than two months after Mosaic 2.0, I will no longer have sympathy for users of Mosaic 1.0. It is my impression that Lynx now automatically uses a gateway for wais://* URLs. Is this correct? I was about to do a big string replacement, but decided to ask for your opinion(s). -Don From dwells Sun Feb 20 20:56:14 1994 Received: by fits.cv.nrao.edu (4.1/DDN-DLB/1.5) id AA22806; Sun, 20 Feb 94 20:56:14 EST Return-Path: Date: Sun, 20 Feb 94 20:56:12 EST From: dwells (Don Wells) Message-Id: <9402210156.AA22800@fits.cv.nrao.edu> To: astroweb Subject: file: versus ftp: policy?

I hope that you (plural) approve of this change. This rule caused dtsort to merge 5 duplicate resource records. The current count is exactly 400. -Don From astroweb-request Wed Feb 23 05:28:04 1994 Received: by fits.cv.nrao.edu (4.1/DDN-DLB/1.5) id AA00817; Wed, 23 Feb 94 05:28:04 EST Return-Path: Message-Id: <9402231027.AA17767@ns3.hq.eso.org> X-Sender: hmadorf@ns3.hq.eso.org Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Date: Wed, 23 Feb 1994 11:27:50 +0100 To: astroweb@fits.CV.NRAO.EDU From: Fionn Murtagh (by way of adorf@eso.org (Hans-Martin Adorf)) Subject: Mosaic - WAIS Sender: astroweb-request@fits.CV.NRAO.EDU The might be of interest... ----- freeWAIS 1.01 Z39.50 version 2 Client Library for UNIX and Microsoft Windows Since Last Time - Added an HTTP->Z39.50 gateway application to allow forms-based World Wide Web clients to query Z39.50 servers.

This is because we have old gopher URLs that did searches of files or else talked to WAIS servers. Also, I think some remote login URLs are simply search services which now also have WAIS servers. I propose to remove redundant gopher-search URLs from the database. I also propose to remove redundant remote login search-service URLs unless they have some value-added that is not contained in associated WAIS/HTTP servers. More generally, we have gopher and FTP URLs for organizations that also now have HTTP URLs. I propose that such resources be deleted unless they have some value which is not present in associated HTTP servers. If there is value, then I propose that references to those gopher/file URLs be embedded in the

    sections for the HTTP servers. -Don
