Filenames must be 8 chars.3 chars and should conform to ISO9660 standards. Longer filenames will not work!!!
Images should be in gif or tif (uncompressed) format. Users typically use 800x600 full screen resolution. Inline images should be sized accordingly.
Text files should be in ASCII format (PC and Mac)
Mac programs should be self-extracting mac binary files that have been hqx encoded (binhexed).
Java applets ok, java scripts are not. We are working in HTML 3.2.

Submission: However you send your files, YOU MUST mail in, fax, email, call in, or include the information requested on the checklist

For file transfer, FTP is preferred. If you have multiple directories, please send your files as a zip archive with the directory structure preserved.

To FTP:

Connect to ftp.cyto.purdue.edu
Login as anonymous
Your name as password
Change directory to cdupload (cd cdupload)
Use binary mode (bin)
"Put" your files
Inform us that you have sent it (Best way is to fax the checklist)

If you cannot FTP your files, you can send them on diskette, 100 Mb zip disk for PCs, or CDR. Please do not submit binary files as email attachments - they typically get scrambled and are unusable.

Content: We welcome all (unpublished) research contributions. They can be in the form of data histograms with brief explanations, research summaries, longer research reports, slides, images, etc. Please note that the more information or explanation that you include, the more usable your contribution will be. In addition, more information helps us to place your work in the most logical section of the CD.
