Obtain binaries for Harvest: http://harvest.cs.colorado.edu/harvest/gettingsoftware.html 2. Create a broker on your system, by running the command CreateBroker All you have to do is to tell it to collect from the gatherer at host: anarky.stsci.edu at port: 8500 and to do an incremental collection with compression. 3. You also need to make some changes to your HTTPD server as described in the Harvest file INSTRUCTIONS.html. 4. In your toplevel directory served by your HTTPD server, add two symbolic links like: lrwxrwxrwx 1 jackson 29 May 3 11:16 brokers -> /anarky/data1/harvest/brokers lrwxrwxrwx 1 jackson 31 May 3 11:16 gatherers -> /anarky/data1/harvest/gatherers From astroweb-request Fri May 5 14:30:16 1995 Received: by fits.cv.nrao.edu (4.1/DDN-CV/1.8) id AA22640; Fri, 5 May 95 14:30:16 EDT Return-Path: Message-Id: <9505051828.AA27052@fcaglp.fcaglp.unlp.edu.ar> From: spaoli@fcaglp.fcaglp.unlp.edu.ar (Sergio Paoli) Subject: Re: Asantha Cooray's complete guide to Astronomy and Astrophysics To: adorf@eso.org Date: Fri, 5 May 95 15:28:37 SAT Cc: astroweb@NRAO.EDU In-Reply-To: ; from "Hans-Martin Adorf" at May 5, 95 4:03 pm Mailer: Elm [revision: 70.85] Sender: astroweb-request@fits.cv.nrao.edu > > Check out > http://www.mit.edu:8001/afs/athena.mit.edu/user/a/s/asante/www/astron.html > > I've added it to the AstroWeb database. > > -hma > > > Hi Hans-Martin, The Asantha List was in my section Others List a long time ago!

Sender: astroweb-request@fits.cv.nrao.edu Dear AstroWeb colleagues, This is a heads-up alert. I have been scanning the c.i.g newsgroup occasionally for information related to coordinate systems for FITS WCS [World Coordinate Systems]. (I am also interested in DEMs and ZIP-code databases for personal reasons.) Various GIS [Geographic Information Systems] people have been building URL lists, just as we did several years ago. Several weeks ago I noticed one of these people complaining about the increasing difficulty of keeping up, about duplicated efforts, etc. I posted a simple followup, telling about our approach to the problem, and giving the appropriate URLs. Since that time I have scanned the c.i.g. subject lines once or twice a week. As far as I know this is the first followup to respond to what I said. -Don ------- Start of forwarded message ------- Newsgroups: comp.infosystems.gis From: stahl@laum.uni-hannover.de (Roland Stahl) Subject: Re^2: GIS-Sites Lists stupid! Organization: ILR University of Hannover Date: Thu, 11 May 1995 10:08:34 GMT Hello GISnetters, the most interesting post on the topic was IMHO the one of D.C. Wells. I think the AstroWeb consotium found a very promising way to solve the problem of keeping information together, update, complete, well structured and reliable. We should absolutely adopt this approach to the topic of GIS (eg GISweb consortium with the software and database of our astronomy clleagues, enhanced for GIS- requirements). By the way, there once was a GeoWEB-List, but it seems to me it died. Or have I lost the connection for technical reasons? And what happened to the GeoWeb project. The aim was to make GIS information and data available. No manual approaches (including the recently posted advanced list of Jim Aylward) will be able to manage the information. There is too much to keep it update (worldwide) manually. So I think, the list-holders like Mr. Mc. Dermott, Mr. Thoen and the others should get together, get in contact to the AstroWeb consortium and build up a GISweb Database. Unfortunately I won't be able to do much more on this topic because I leave the university (and the multimedia Internet-connection) to start a job in the private industry (i'll provide ADALIN-GIS of ADASYS GmbH in Germany). So i'll keep my mouth shut in the future and leave you alone, lost in Hyperspace ;-))) bye, Roland _____________________________________________________________________________ _ Dipl.-Ing.

This is all new multimedia material--not shareware taken from the network. As part of this activity, we are including several examples of interesting sites on the network. We would like to use images of The AstroWeb pages as one of these examples. What we are requesting is permission from you to use screen images of some of your World Wide Web pages in our CD-ROM. While this will only be a small portion of the complete product, we feel that it will add an important sense of what the Internet is today, and will highlight your Web pages. Of course we will include your copywrite notice with the pictures, if you provide the wording you would like. If we include these screen images in the final product, we will provide you with a free copy of the CD-ROM. (If you want one, please let me know and provide an address.) Please send your response to akobran@mindq.com. You can also send any questions to this address, or you can reach me at 703-430-0685. Thank you for your help on this project Alan Kobran V.P.
