Here is your Holiday Season present (I am trying to be politically correct,
after being a male-chauvinist-pig and a fascist, I do not want to
be called a bigot):

      A machine readable PDB format description
      =========================================

Be aware that you have got what you paid for. There are obviously many
mistakes in this file (I did not type it --- if I did, it would have even 
more typos). I would be thankful for your corrections (tell me where you
see a typo and I will try to fix it when I am back - send these to jkl@ccl.net
or JKL@OHSTPY.BITNET).

This is a LaTeX/FrameMaker rendition of the PDB document entitled:
Protein Data Bank Atomic Coordinate and Bibliographic Entry Format Description.
To print it you need:
  1. LaTeX
  2. dvips 
  3. PostScript printer
If you do not have 1 and 2 but you have 3, you can still grab the PostScript
file (LARGE !!!).
The following files are located in /pub/chemistry/pdbdoc directory:
  -rw-r--r--  1 jkl        376132 Dec 10 12:11 pdbformat.ps     (1)
  -rw-r--r--  1 jkl         78083 Dec 10 12:11 pdbformat.tex    (2)

You can get them by ftp or by our e-mail distribution software.

FTP:
====
Provided that you have ftp, do the following (I assume you run a UNIX)
%mkdir pdbdoc
%cd pdbdoc
%ftp www.ccl.net   (or ftp 128.146.36.48)
Login: anonymous
Password: Your_E-mail_address 
ftp> cd pub/chemistry/pdbdoc
ftp> ascii
ftp> mget *     (then answer yes few times)
ftp> quit


E-MAIL:
=======
Send the following message to OSCPOST@ccl.net or OSCPOST@OHSTPY.BITNET:
  send ./pdbdoc/pdbformat.ps from chemistry         
  send ./pdbdoc/pdbformat.tex from chemistry
  send ./pdbdoc/pdbposting from chemistry
  send ./pdbdoc/pg24a.eps from chemistry
  send ./pdbdoc/pg24b.eps from chemistry
  send ./pdbdoc/pg26.eps from chemistry
  send ./pdbdoc/pg27.eps from chemistry
  send ./pdbdoc/pg28.eps from chemistry
  send ./pdbdoc/pg29.eps from chemistry
  send ./pdbdoc/pg31.eps from chemistry
  send ./pdbdoc/pg32.eps from chemistry
  send ./pdbdoc/rotaten.sty from chemistry
The files will be forwareded to you automatically. You will have to save
them and then edit out a top portion of these files before they can be used
(header extends from the top of the file to the SECOND blank line - the one
which follows: *** from oscpost, d-a-t-e t-i-m-e ***)
Get the pdbformat.ps file only if your e-mail gateway allows files larger
than 100kBytes - many gateways will not let you do it.
=========================================================================

If you have LaTeX and dvips on your machine, do:
  1. change to the directory with the files retrieved in the way described
     above.
  2. 
     latex pdbformat
  3.
     latex pdbformat
  4.
     dvips -o pdbformat.ps pdbformat.dvi
  5. 
     lpr -PYour_postscript_printer pdbformat.ps

I assume you are using UNIX (to be exact, a UNIX with BSD extensions).
If you do not, you probably know what to do. If you do not know, ask somebody
(but not me, I do not know).

If you do not have LaTeX, then you have only a need for pdbformat.ps file.
You do not need the others. You just print this file on you PostSrript printer
(e.g.:     lpr -PYour_postscript_printer pdbformat.ps)

If you do not have a PostScript printer, forget the whole thing.

On the other hand, if you do not have LaTeX, you should. You might want to
look into /pub/chemistry/tex and grab the file tex_for_sgi (it will not
make you wiser, but will show you the light).
