Anyone recommend a place to rustproof a 92 Honda Civic? What kinds 
of rustproofing will void the warranty? What kinds of rustproofing are 
recommended? I called one dealer, Hunt Club Honda, and their rustproofing 
costs just over $500. They claim no holes are drilled and there is no 
annual inspection required.

I picked up some good deals at the Crown Assets Distribution Centre, 
933 Gladstone Ave, Ottawa, Canada (613) 952-0272 in one of their 
cash and carry sales.  They dispose of surplus government equipment.
(ie: I purchased a 286 PC, with 20 Meg HD, 360K floppy, Monochrome monitor, 
and Keyboard for $165.)

They are having more sales, some cash and carry on individual items, and 
some closed envelope bits for whole skids of stuff (called a public sale).

Details follow from their flyer:

Nov 19, 12:00 - 19:00  Public Sale		1992
Nov 20, 12:00 - 16:00  Public Sale
Dec 3,  13:00 - 20:00  Cash and Carry
Jan 14, 12:00 - 19:00  Public Sale		1993
Jan 15, 12:00 - 16:00  Public Sale
Jan 28, 16:00 - 20:00  Cash and Carry
Feb 4 , 16:00 - 20:00  Cash and Carry
Feb 18, 12:00 - 19:00  Public Sale
Feb 19, 12:00 - 16:00  Public Sale
Mar 4 , 16:00 - 20:00  Cash and Carry
Mar 18, 12:00 - 19:00  Public Sale
Mar 19, 12:00 - 16:00  Public Sale

Incidently, it was well run, with no mob scenes.  The staff were helpful and 
polite also.

If you plan to purchase a PC, remember to bring a floppy with system and MS-DOS, 
and possibly even bring a main power cord (these were in short supply).
There are power outlets available that some people used to verify that 
their systems were more or less functional.  Of course, there are no guarentees
on any of the equipment.  (Mine seems to work fine though).

There are lots of other things there too, like: gasoline cans, rubber boots, 
axe handles, bars of soap, printers, cameras, filing cabinets, chairs, work boots,
teletype machines, selectric typewriters, surveillence video cameras, books,
 .... indeed a whole warehouse of your exhausted tax dollars!

 In the Bioftp gopher in Basel the PDB gopher has a link in 
EMBnet Resource Basel / Databases. It won't hel you much, though, if the
client at NIH doesn't get you files saved or mailed to you. Very soon, 
Europe will have subject-oriented gopher trees so that there should be 
a central register for biology applications available. 


Maybe this helps

Last week I posted a question concerning a Mac front end for the GCG programs
running on a VAX that I has read about. Thanks to all those who troubled to
reply. Here is a quick summary of the results:

1. Don Gilbert wrote a hypercard stack to acts as an interface, called 
HyperGCG.It is available by ftp from two places that I know of:
	ftp.bio.indiana.edu in molbio/mac hypergcg.hqx
	sunbcd.weizmann.ac.il in pub/software/mac/

However, Don Gilbert writes "I do not support this software.......nor do I 
recommend it except to those with some knowledge of hypercard programming and 
the time to mess with it." Well, I think that it plain enough!

2. Will Gilbert used MacWorkstation as a front end to VMS and GCG, and made a 
lot of progress, but abandoned it when good packages became available on the
Mac, and because MWS became too expensive. None of what he wrote is available.

Therefore it looks pretty bad if you are trying to introdue PC users to VMS and
GCG. However, I have heard that a version of GCG running under Xwindows should
be available sometime in 1993/94. This would allow users running MacX etc to
access the system.

Meantime hang on in there folks!

We have recently acquired the literature reference manager EndNote.  I am interested in reading in some or all of the references in seqanalref, but need a filter to convert the format to something EndNote can read.  If anyone has done this and can supply
me with code for VMS,Unix,or Mac I would be very grateful.

Alternatively, since EndNote is supposed to be able to read ProCite format, perhaps someone could provide me with seqanalref in ProCite format.  Erik Sonnhammer at EMBL has apperently written a PC program to convert seqanalref to ProCite format.  Unfort-
unately, I do not have access to any kind of IBM type PC.  Is anyone that has done this conversion willing to supply me with the converted file?

Ack!  Sorry, can't help you there - while you didn't want to hear this,
this is one very real reason that Macs are much easier to interface with
TCP/IP - one relatively solid, reliable interface (MacTCP).  Drop the file
into your system folder and everything (gopher, eudora, WAIStation, Fetch,
Versaterm, etc) works 1st time every time (almost... 8-)

   Yes, just initaiate a new gopher wiith the following data:

Type = 1 (so that the icon is a folder)
Title = PDB/Brookhaven Data	(or something more personal)
Address =	pdb.pdb.bnl.gov (domain name of the server)
port =	70 (standard gopher port)

This is done (if using Don Gilbert's Gopher App) by selecting the 'Internet
| New Gopher Link' menu items and filling out the blanks appropriately.

   Or if using the PC version (PC Gopher II), you can use the Options |
Configure menu selection and fill out the blanks as above.

   However, the "New Gopher" selection (Alt+G) does not work as appears to
be advertised - all it does is bring up the initial screen again.  

A note to the authors is warranted.

Cheers,
Harry

If you mean internet-access GOPHER, there are gopher servers in Indiana, 
Houston and Basel serving you Genbank, PIR , EMBL and Swissprot respectively
in a (crude) keyword search. Was that the meaning of "retrieval service"?

    I would like to know the  intend of this  list  and if I
could obtain some replies.

    I am a researcher tacking part of Biomedical Engineering
Group Laboratory of Electrical Engineering Department at the
Federal University of  Santa  Catarina. We  develop   little
biomedical equipments  and  Expest Systems - such a Hospital
Infection Control Aid and a  Hybrid  System  (rule-based and
neural  network  based)  for  Proposal  and   Evaluation  of
Anesthesian Plan.

    I am a master degree student, now, grapple in develop  a
Expert Network  (also  called,  hybrid  system:  those  whom
combine  neural  networks   with   rule-based  methods)  for
Planning and Evaluation of  Plans of  Anesthesia, continuing
a  PHD  thesis,  for  Critical  Patients  (their  who   need
critical  cares) or Problem   Patients (exceptional cases of
patientes whom evaluate to critical patients).  I  have some
troubles choosing the  most  suitable  approach  to  develop
this system. I do not know if neural  networks could  be the
key to solve the main part of the problem,  because  we  are
dealing with  exceptions  that  probably could  best  solved
throught a rule-based method.  At  lately, there are  a  few
shells systems   applying  object-orienthed  technics   with
rule-based    or  frames  methods  such  the  new   Kappa PC
Application Development Systems   for   Windows environment,
from   IntellCorp.   Inc..     So,  I   am   interested   in
implementations   of  hybrid systems   using object-oriented
programming. Maybe, there will   be a  way to  link   neural
networks simulators   using   object-oriented   approach  to
another heuristical   languages such as Turbo-Prolog object-
oriented.

    I would be glad if someone  could make  a comment  about
it, as well as indicate if there exists a _similar research_.

    Please, reply directly to me  as I am not   subcribed to
this list.

    Thanks a lot respect to this matter,
