New additions at infomeister

[Max Pyziur]

Greetings.

A brief announcement regarding some additions and modifications to
the Ukrainian portion of the ftp/gopher site infomeister.osc.edu.

1) Two files, glosrad.koi (KOI8 Cyrillic coding) and glosrad.zip (AV
Cyrillic coding), were contributed by Walter Huda, Director of
Radiological Physics at the University of Florida's College
of Medicine located in Gainesville Florida.  They represent a 12,000
word, tri-lingual (Ukrainian, Russian, and English) dictionary of
Radiology terms.  These works are preliminary subsequent to final
revision, being a collaborative effort on the part of Walter Huda
and Mykola Pylypenko, Director of Radiology at Kharkiv Medical
Institute.  Please note, the files are fairly large; the koi one is just
over a megabyte, while the AV zipped one is close to 300k.
(/pub/central_eastern_europe/ukrainian/lang)

2) Two new JPEGs of Leonid Kuchma's visit to Winnipeg have been added
to the images section.  They are: kuchma3.jpg through kuchma4.jpg.
(/pub/central_eastern_europe/ukrainian/images).  Much thanks to
Walter Muzyczka for these contributions.

3) One new JPEG, duck2.jpg, has been added to the children's section
to accompany duck1.jpg and duck.koi and duck.ukr, a Ukrainian
children's fairy tale (both in KOI8 and AV Cyrillic coding).

4) Some housekeeping has been done relating to files coded in
KOI8.  Older files such as ones for the telephone citycodes of Ukraine
(citycode.koi), the Ukrainian version of foreign embassies in Kiev
(diprepk.koi), and a listing of email addresses for Ukrainian media
organizations (mediaems.koi) have been modified so that they are now
in a more consistently used coding of KOI8 for Ukrainian Cyrillic.
Hopefully now you should be able to browse these files without seeing
pseudo-graphics in place of the letters 'yi', 'i', 'ge', and 'ye'.

An item is attached providing more specific information as to how to
access the site and its contents.

If you have any suggestions for additions or modifications or are
aware of errors of commission and omission please let me know.

Finally, much thanks to Jan Labanowski and the Ohio Supercomputer
Center for making this site and its contents available for not only
Ukrainian matters, but also for those relating to other concerns of
Central and Eastern Europe.

Much thanks also to those who have included pointers either to all or
