From psawatzk@uoguelph.ca Sun May 29 22:42:21 1994 From: psawatzk@uoguelph.ca (Peter Sawatzky) Newsgroups: comp.archives Subject: [sci.electronics] ftp site with >16,000 circuit references Followup-To: poster Date: 25 May 1994 18:13:45 +0200 Organization: University of Guelph NNTP-Posting-Host: rubb.rz.ruhr-uni-bochum.de X-Url: ftp://gaitlab1.uwaterloo.ca/pub/circuits X-Batch-Name: archsave.1994-05-21 X-Original-Date: 21 May 1994 18:42:39 GMT Archive-Name: auto/sci.electronics/ftp-site-with-16-000-circuit-references It seems to me that at least half of the posting here are concerned with circuit-related questions. Many would be answered by a database that we have recently mounted on an anonymous ftp site. The database contains the following features: -SHAREWARE (requires registration for continued use or distribution) -menu-driven front end to allow searches on devices and keywords on titles or circuit abstracts -dBASE-compatible format for those wishing to search other fields -references to >16,000 articles/papers containing practical electronic circuit designs, from >350 different magazines/journals -availability of photocopy/fax of most original articles (author registered with CCC [Copyright Clearance Center]) -covers virtually every field of science and technology -updates (annually or semi-annually, depending on response) To download, ftp to gaitlab1.uwaterloo.ca and log in as "anonymous". The main database (~3M PKZIPped, ~10M after PKUNZIPping) is contained under /pub/circuits/main A smaller demo version (if you want to try it first) is under /pub/circuits/demo Be sure to give a bin command before getting these files. *** Suggestions, comments, questions and any other feedback would be appreciated. *** ============================================================================== Peter Sawatzky >>> e-mail psawatzk@uoguelph.ca <<<
