I have had no luck trying to unpack these files. I am using winrar, and when I try to unpack one of the 5 meg files, the resulting file shows a content of 130 bytes!! I have redownloaded both the merck & my winrar, just in case...still no luck. Any ideas?

Drugs are the cheapest & most reliable form of space transport.

CheshireHouse - Thanx - I will do as instructed.

Pheesees - double click on the merck.rar file or open the archive. Click on merck12.bin, click the 'Test' option to check that the files are OK. It takes a while to test but you should get no errors reported.

If there are no errors you should be able to extract the merck12.bin just as I did. Use the latest version Winrar 2.7 - I think.

Shit!  I know that I can burn this sucker with no help...so I went to get the filez...and fuckin' 'a' the server doesn't exist?

ftp://ftp.candw.ag/pub/incoming/

so i backtracked to the

ftp://ftp.candw.ag/

site, and found that it doesn't exist? is someones computer offline?

Wait, got the first server that was posted, thanks a heap Macster...Merck here I come...17th edition already released! wow

The I drive still works, however...

No, the 17th edition of Merck Index has not been released, we are still stuck with the 12th ed. The Merck Manual (a completely different book) 17th ed has been released though.

Heres a link that might help someone out.It is a database of chems. and their properties,And they have a cd-rom that you can order for free with over 10,000 chems. in it

the .bin file is a raw data file. Just rename the file extension to .nrg to use nero burning rom. probably could use iso or any other extensions, but know the this works for nero.

An optimist thinks this is the best possible world.
A pessimist fears this is true.

All the links are dead, I dont supose anybody would be kind enough to put it back up somewhere or if you were REALLY nice you could even send it to me, I would be more than happy to trade info if you like.

Hmm, if someone would be so kind as to give me the files, i can put them up so they can be mass-downloaded.

Inr egards to this topic.. CambridgeSoft has released Version 13 of the Merck Index. I believe they've ditched the old engine and redone how the whole thing is indexed. It sounds like a most excellent upgrade...

The MAN lives next Door, So SHHHHH!

I know that few will be able to get this in one peice. Can you break this into say 5 10Mb chunks or parts? I Had it almost complete and fell asleep and so did the pc and hung. about 2hours over a cable modem mid night d/L.

Thanks

Don't look at me I didn't do it!

Swim knows jack shit about what y'all are talkin 'bout winrar and nero and all this. swim downloaded the most recent link, the one from maxz, and unzipped it with winzip. when swim went to install it it is asking for a serial number and registration code. what now?

Try using bulletproof or another software that can download the file and if there's an interruption, that is able to resume as well. Is this the 13th Ed of the Merck Index? If so, I have got to download myself a copy...
