Dear Friends, Some of you had problems in downloading the power point presentation of our recent paper on OpenMED@NIC [From http://snipr.com/229f4 and http://openmed.nic.in/2762/] . It was due to large size of the file. I have now created a PDF file that contains heavily reduced quality pictures but is of much lighter in size about 2 MB as compared to original presentation of 16 MB. This File has been uploaded to OADL Group under files[ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/oadl/ ] section and should be available from http://snipr.com/22pxt directly. If still you feel that it should be mailed to you, please let me know. Thanks --Sukhdev Singh, NIC. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
