The NONMEM Repository / PKPD Server at the Palo Alto VA
has been upgraded:
1) The problems with "host not found" have been tracked down
and fixed. There should be no need to use the IP number
any more. The name remains the cumbersome:
pkpd.icon.palo-alto.med.va.gov
but that is beyond my control (US Gov't issue).
2) I've added a WWW front-end to the server, so you can reach
it via Mosaic/Netscape or any other Web browser. The
server doesn't do much more than drop you into FTP mode, but
it at least provides a starting point for more complete
integration with the WWW when we find the time.
Please let me know how this works. Many of you have sent me
messages on performance issues, and those have been very helpful
in tracking down the problems with the system. Also, please
contribute those models, programs, control streams, and sample
data sets that you think others might find helpful.
NONMEM FTP Repository
Some e-mail I have received suggests continued questions about
logging into the Repository. When using NETSCAPE/MOSAIC or another
WWW browser, the repository can be accessed with either of the
following URLS:
http://pkpd.icon.palo-alto.med.va.gov or
ftp://pkpd.icon.palo-alto.med.va.gov/public/
Attempting to access the repository using:
ftp://pkpd.icon.palo-alto.med.va.gov
does not work because it requires access to the root directory,
which is not accessible for security reasons.
