It is written to automate searching for recent scientific papers in the PubMed Medline database. BioMail is free and will stay free. What does BioMail do? Periodically BioMail does a user-customized Medline search and sends all matching articles recently added to Medline to the users' e-mail address. HTML-formatted e-mails generated by BioMail can be used to view selected references in medline format (compatible with most reference manager programs). Why is BioMail helpful? If you use Medline, it may be hard to remember when you did your last search. Often you must scan titles you have already seen to be certain you didn't miss an important reference. BioMail will perform routine searches for you. This program alerts users to all new papers in their fields automatically. It also helps the user to 'refine' search patterns once and for all. There is no need to wonder: 'What was that great search pattern I used last Saturday?'. All patterns are safe in the database and can be accessed, tuned, or deleted any time. It is also useful for countries where access to the Internet is not yet widely available. If a person has a permanent e-mail address, but only sporadic www access, she/he only needs to fill out a BioMail form once and then will receive new references from Medline continually. %prep %setup %build %install mkdir -p $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/home/httpd/cgi-bin/biomail mkdir -p $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/local/biomail mkdir -p $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/local/biomail/dbases mkdir -p $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/local/bin chown nobody.nobody $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/local/biomail/dbases cp /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/%{name}-%{version}/users.pl $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/home/httpd/cgi-bin/biomail/. chmod 744 $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/home/httpd/cgi-bin/biomail/users.pl cp /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/%{name}-%{version}/BioMail/* $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/local/biomail/. cp /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/%{name}-%{version}/biomail.pl $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/local/bin/. chmod 755 $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/local/bin/biomail.pl cp /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/%{name}-%{version}/users.pl $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/local/bin/. chmod 755 $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/local/bin/users.pl %clean rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT %files %defattr(-,root,root) %doc README License_GPL.txt biomaildb /usr/local/bin/biomail.pl /usr/local/bin/users.pl /usr/local/biomail/Mails.pm /usr/local/biomail/dbflat.pm /usr/local/biomail/pubwww.pm %changelog * Thu Mar 31 2000 Phil Hunter [0_51-2] - added parameterized to name and version buildroot - added a missing mkdir for buildroot /usr/local/bin * Tue Mar 29 2000 Phil Hunter [0_51-1] - adapted for wierd Sourceforge tarball name - added buildroot parameter - added a missing mkdir for buildroot /usr/local/bin
