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.
