Becoming a Mirror Site

If you are interested in mirroring the NPAC Visible Human Viewer, please send a request to Paul Coddington and Michael Chang, < paulc@npac.syr.edu,yjchang@npac.syr.edu>.

You will need the following:

• A Web server with about 1 Gbyte of disk space available. Note that this may grow substantially in the future if we add more data, e.g. MRI and CT and the Visible Woman (however due to lack of time and funding, this is unlikely to happen any time soon).

• An 8mm tape drive to extract the data from tape, or a CD-ROM drive to get the data from CD-ROM, or a fast enough network connection that you can download the whole data archive file. Data is available for download at:
  • http://kopernik.npac.syr.edu:8080/vishuman/4/vhh.tar - contains the high resolution image data (WARNING: This file is 635 Mbytes!!)
  • http://kopernik.npac.syr.edu:8080/vishuman/4/vhm.tar - contains only the medium and low resolution image data (WARNING: This file is 350 Mbytes!)
  • http://kopernik.npac.syr.edu:8080/vishuman/4/vha.tar.gz - contains the applet and associated HTML files (This file is 1.4 Mbytes)

• Ability to extract a Unix tape archive (tar) file.

You are free to edit the HTML to show that your institution is hosting the mirror site, but we ask that you keep the same name (NPAC Visible Human Viewer) and some attribution to show that the Web site and applet were originally developed at the Northeast Parallel Architectures Center at Syracuse University, with a hyperlink to the original site.

We would be particularly grateful to have mirror sites that are also translated into other languages.

If you create a mirror site, please let us know and we will add it to our list.
