       - DoroTech, DoroFile for GEMS Genesis WORM:

        DoroFile is a UNIX-like file system for WORM (Write Once Read
        Multiple) optical disks that features:


        - Full implementation of UNIX file management concepts.  - Use
        of autonomous and reliable storage media.  - Multi-user
        environment.


        DoroFile is a software system that enables the new generation of
        optical memory storage devices to be used in a UNIX or UNIX-like
        programming environment.  DOROFILE fully implements all UNIX
        file and directory concepts.  It allows a totally transparent
        use of WORM disk under SunOS, by providing integration of the
        WORM file system under VFS (virtual file system).  Optical
        volumes are shared by any workstation through NFS.

        - ImportACCESS - from DesAcc

        A commercial Photoshop plugin that works with the many other
        programs that support the plugin format.  Reads fixed format
        proprietary formats, and extra modules for ACR-NEMA 2.0, DICOM
        3.0, Interfile 3.3 files are available.  Particularly good at
        multi-slice images and color images, and clearly has a nuclear
        medicine bias to it.  Well documented.  Recommended.  Note of
        potential bias - I was a beta tester.

    - FAQ about email access to internet services:

        To find out more, fetch the relevant FAQ from the mailserver at
        "[e-mail]" with a message body:

            send
            usenet/news.answers/internet-services/access-via-email

        Or ftp it from
        "ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/news.answers/internet-services/access-via-email"

      - Ftpmail:


        Ftpmail is a service provided by some extremely generous sites
        that allow you to send ftp commands to them by email and the
        server executes the commands and sends the results back.  Very
        few sites offer this because of the huge load and potential for
        abuse.  I only mention it here because a lot of medical imaging
        people don't seem to have anonymous ftp access.

        To find out more, fetch the relevant FAQ from the mailserver at
        "[e-mail]" with a message body:

            send usenet/news.answers/ftp-list/faq

        The most commonly used site is "[e-mail]" (send
        "help" (no quotes) in the message body).
