EID is also available on the Internet through File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
and electronic mail
FTP
Download the journal through anonymous FTP to ftp.cdc.gov.
The files can be found in the pub/EID directory in each of the file types
listed below.
LISTSERVer (E-Mail Lists)
Because of the large file sizes of the journal and the complexity of
sending the journal to different e-mail systems, it is strongly recommended
that if you have FTP capabilities, you choose to access EID through FTP
rather than e-mail lists. However, if you do not have FTP, you may have
the journal sent to your electronic mailbox by subscribing to one of four
mailing lists. Choose the list with the file type that best meets your
computing environment. There are four lists available:
- EID-TOC sends the table of contents and allows you to request individual
articles. (This file is typically 10-15 kb.)
- EID-ASCII sends the journal in ASCII format. (This file is typically
200-400 kb.)
- EID-PDF sends the journal in Adobe Acrobat format. You can get the
Adobe Acrobat Reader free by subscribing to this list. (This file
is typically 500-900 kb.)
- EID-PS sends the journal in PostScript format. (This file is
typically 4-8 Mb.)
To subscribe to a list, use the Subscription
Form or send an e-mail to listserv@cdc.gov with the following
in the body of your message:
- subscribe listname (e.g., subscribe EID-PS)
Once you have requested a subscription, you will receive a confirmation
and further instructions by e-mail.
File formats available
The journal is available in three file formats: ASCII, Adobe Acrobat
(.pdf), and PostScript (.ps). The ASCII version of the journal does not
contain figures. Both the .pdf and .ps files, however, contain graphics
and figures and are true representations of the hard copy of the journal.
The Adobe Acrobat format requires an Adobe Reader
(available at no charge from CDC through FTP, LISTSERVer, or World-Wide
Web [WWW]. This reader is available in DOS, Windows, UNIX, and Macintosh
versions and will allow you to view and print the journal just as it looks
in hard copy. Installation instructions come with the Adobe software.
