NRAs and AOs will be made available in several formats described
below. There are many computer platforms and software packages and we
cannot provide files in all possible formats. We have chosen a few
widely useful formats.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Some browsers will display the postscript file on the
screen after retrieving it. Unless you have a postscript reader
installed, the displayed file will be generally dense and
unintelligible. However you can still print the retrieved file on a
postscript printer and get a true copy of the original document. The
rtf file may behave similarly. If you obtain an unintelligible screen
display after a point and click operation, this does not necessarily
mean that anything is wrong. It probably means simply that your web
browser is not configured to read the file format. By clicking on a
file choice you are automatically acquiring a copy of the file in
your computer in whatever directory has been set up to receive it,
for example c:\netscape or c:\mosaic Once you have found the file(s)
you should be able to read or print them if you have the appropriate
software, i.e. text editor, or word processor, or postscript driver
and printer. If you are still experiencing difficulties with
postscript files, please use the HTML versions instead.
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR UNIX USERS: The postscript files we provide work
on PC and Mac systems with network and stand-alone printers. The
files have a ^D at the beginning and at the end of the file. These
are printer control characters. We have learned that they do not work
on Unix systems. To solve this problem use a text editor to remove
the ^D characters from the beginning and the end of the file. Once
the ^Ds are removed the file will not work on PC and Mac systems.
Please note: These files DO NOT include figures or tables. They
are downloadable in a separate section.
