A small addendum for anyone interested in actually using the ‘Info’ option (#4 below). There is a glitch, such that a forward-slash is routinely missing. If you select, for example, CARET.QUICK-START.03-06.tar.gz, it tries unsuccessfully to link to
http://brainvis.wustl.edu/sumsdb/zip_targz_tgzCARET.QUICK-START.03-06.tar.gz/568256_info.html but the correct URL can be achieved by inserting a single ‘/‘ between ‘tgz’ and 'CARET’ : http://brainvis.wustl.edu/sumsdb/zip_targz_tgz/CARET.QUICK-START.03-06.tar.gz/568256_info.html > On Feb 7, 2017, at 6:47 PM, David Van Essen <[email protected]> wrote: > > To Lynn and others who have been unable to access the SumsDB database: > > I have bad news and (somewhat) good news. > > 1) Unfortunately, SumsDB passed away peacefully last summer.
