CDC's official MMWR electronic copy-of-record is the MMWR in Adobe
Acrobat.pdf (portable document format). This electronic MMWR is
identical
in content to the paper copy-of-record. The ASCII document is NOT an
official document of record and should be used with caution. The
ASCII file
was created by an automated process and thus has not been proof read.
It also lacks tables, charts, graphs, and photographs. In some
cases there
may be significant character translation errors (e.g. for Greek
letters and
other scientific symbols).
To receive the official electronic MMWR.pdf copy of record readers
should
select one of the following choices:
* send an e-mail message to lists@list.cdc.gov. The body content of the
e-mail should read: subscribe mmwr-toc.
* retrieve the MMWR by connecting to CDC's anonymous FTP file server:
ftp.cdc.gov. The user name is "anonymous" and your e-mail address is
your password.
* connect to CDC's World-Wide Web (WWW) server to access the electronic
MMWR.pdf and free reader software. CDC's WWW address is:
<http://www.cdc.gov/. Go to "Publications, Products, and Subscription
Services" then "MMWR."
Download the binary file by selecting the blue MMWR title of your
choice.
* Paper subscriptions are available from the U.S. Government Printing
Office and Massachusetts Medical Society.
* If you do not have access to either FTP or the WWW, you may
retrieve the
MMWR via e-mail from the Majordomo list server. This process is
much slower
and more complex than either anonymous FTP or the World Wide Web.
Copy the following script, and paste it into an e-mail message
addressed
to lists@list.cdc.gov:
get mmwr mmwr.archive.951110 {for the current MMWR}
Majordomo will send the file uuencoded. Depending on your
e-mail system,
some sites may have to process the received mail with a
uudecode utility
to create an acceptable binary file readable by Acrobat. If
the e-mail
system does not have uudecode, contact your e-mail administrator.
Uudecode software is available free of charge at many FTP sites
on the
Internet.
* If you have other problems or questions, send e-mail to
mmwr-questions@list.cdc.gov
