Example session (extract a dataset):
set host LTXDB user-id is xray; no password required
[Note: RDAC services will switch to the Internet address in
the near future; the SPAN address LTXDB will be discontinued]
...> browse ROSPUBLIC start BROWSE with specified database
...> csam cdrom select datasets which are on CD-ROM
...> request
Do you want to select all [N]: y
Enter start entry number [d/f=1]: 1
Enter end entry number [d/f=2468]: 1
Enter your email address:<e-mail address>
...> exit exit browse
> logout exit from XRAY
After the requested data have been copied from the CD-ROM jukebox system to a publicly accessible hard disk, the user will be informed by a message to the e-mail address given in the request. Then the data can be copied via anonymous ftp:
% ftp darc.star.le.ac.uk user: anonymous; password: e-mail address ftp> cd rosat/data change to the data main directory ftp> ls list available data directories ftp> cd 700339h go to requested data directory ftp> binary set binary tranfer mode ftp> prompt avoid prompting ftp> mget * get all files in directory ftp> quit exit
You may also request data by sending an e-mail to `ukrdac@star.le.ac.uk', specifying the 6-digit ROR number of the observation with a single character appended (`p' for PSPC, `f' for PSPC with filter, `h' for HRI, `w' for WFC), e.g. 7000111p. The system will respond the same way as with the request from `BROWSE'.
To receive data on tape fill in the request form (available from directory rosat on darc.star.le.ac.uk) and send it to LTVAD::RDAC.
