                 Internet Access to DELTA Programs and Data


The DELTA programs, and several data sets, are available via gopher or
anonymous ftp from
    muse.bio.cornell.edu        (directory: /pub/delta)
and via WWW from
    http://muse.bio.cornell.edu/delta/

The file Index.txt (note the upper-case I) contains a list of the available
programs and data. Most of the subdirectories of delta contain text files
*.1st which contain information about downloading and installing the
programs or data in that subdirectory. When using ftp, always enter the
command `binary' at the start of the session.

When downloading the program distribution files, place them in a directory
\DELTA. To install the programs, follow the instructions in Delta.1st.

The programs are supplied with documentation files, sample data, and a list
of references. The conditions of use are in a file delta.use, and the prices
in delta.reg. These files are within both of the self-extracting archive
files delta1 at .exe (MS-DOS INTKEY) and deltaw at .exe (MS-Windows INTKEY).

There is a mailing list, DELTA-L, for discussion of DELTA and announcements
of updates. To subscribe, send the message
    SUBSCRIBE DELTA-L your-first-name your-last-name
by email to LISTSERV at NIC.SURFNET.NL.
