- WELCOME!
- You have wandered into the medical subdirectory of the University of
- Michigan's Public Domain and Shareware archive. Currently, this section
- only contains Macintosh software, however if there is a demand, it may
- be possible to expand it to support other platforms.
-
- This section of the archive contains software useful to the health science
- professional community. It is currently under construction. You may submit
- files by leaving them in the mac/incoming directory.
-
- Currently, the medical section of the archives is being maintained by
- Eric Meininger (ericm@umich.edu), a medical student attending the University
- of Michigan Medical School. If you have any comments or suggestions, don't
- hesitate to send a message.
-
-
- SUBMITTING FILES TO THE MEDICAL SECTION OF THE ARCHIVES
-
- The best way to get files to our archive is to ftp-put them into the
- incoming directory, then e-mail ericm@umich.edu and let him
- know that you've placed a file. This way he'll know there are health science
- files waiting within the directory, and also who to contact if the files
- don't work "as advertised".
-
- Another way is to e-mail the file to ericm@umich.edu. It works
- just as well.
-
-
- VIRUSES
-
- Unlike other Internet "Mac" archives, we test each and every one of the
- files that appears in our "incoming" directory and in our mailboxes addressed
- to mac.archive. We use the most-up-to-date virus detection inits and control
- panels (Disinfectant, Gatekeeper, etc.) to insure that the files that we
- add to the archive are not carrying anything that can harm your Macintosh
- and your (and our) work. We also make these public domain/shareware
- virus detection packages available to you as fast as we receive them in
- our "utilities/virus" directory.
-
- HOWEVER (LEGALESE DISCLAIMER) -- WE ASSUME NO LIABILITY OR
- RESPONSIBILITY FOR DAMAGE CAUSED BY FILES RETRIEVED FROM THE ARCHIVES
- AT MAC.ARCHIVE.UMICH.EDU.
-
-
- UTILITIES REQUIRED TO UNPACK FILES FROM THIS ARCHIVE
-
- All utilities are in the directory mac/utilities/compressionapps
-
- File Suffix Utility Location
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- .hqx binhex4.0 binhex4.0.bin
- .sea None (None. It's _Self _Extracting _Archive)
- .cpt compactpro1.32 compactpro1.32.sea.hqx
- .sit unstuffitdeluxe2.0 unstuffitdeluxe2.0.hqx
-
- It works thusly:
-
- If you have a file called
- foo.sit.hqx
- Then what you do is start from the right side of the name and work your way
- left. In other words, you want to get the file "foo". On the right you
- see the suffix ".hqx", so first you use binhex4.0 to un-binhex it. Then
- you see ".sit". So next you would use unstuffit deluxe to un-stuff it. Voila!
- You'll have "foo".
-
- For Self Extracting Archives, all you need to do is double click on the
- file, and it will extract itself. So if you have a file named
- bar.sea.hqx
- You would first un-binhex it, and then double click on the file to extract
- it.
