WWW access is (in my opinion) the easiest way to access cancernet. However it is quite possible to get the information just through e-mail (which was the only way, about a year ago). Standard cancernet blurb: You can get information about diagnosing and treating various cancers from the National Cancer Institute.  Send an e-mail message to: HELP in the body. You can also use gopher or a world wide web browser (e.g. Mosaic) to get this information.  The world wide web URL is:       gopher://gopher.nih.gov:70/11/clin/cancernet To use gopher do: gopher gopher.nih.gov Select option 3 (which has "clin" in the beginning) Select option 1 (which has "cancernet" as the first word on this line) Art Computational Logic, Inc.

If you have a gopher capability, go <<gopher gopher.nih.gov. You need "gopher" as part of the URL. George
