You are invited to subscribe to a new e-mail service which announces new/updated files available on the NLM Web site (http://www.nlm.nih.gov) and from the NLM Anonymous FTP server (ftp://ftp.nlm.nih.gov). The messages contain automatically generated lists of new and updated files with their titles and URLs and are a good way to keep up on what is added daily or weekly.
