Some of you are still writing to me as ERIC@FRECP11, which presently gets forwarded back to me without problem. However: 1. This can only increase the delay for me to get the message, ESPECIALLY if you are on the Swiss side of MOP. 2. As of today, FRECP11 is operating without a systems programmer until august. The only qualified system persons are a housemaid who knows how to IPL the CPU and make backups, and the computing center director, who did a "DL *.*" last year from the root directory on the MINI/6 to "clean up some disk space" (well they also did a COLD start some time ago to fix a 3812 paper jam problem). 3. FRECP11 will be down from sometime around the end of july until mid-august. The files may or may not be purged by the FRORSxx spool cleaner during that period. Last year I cared about it, so I set up an EXEC to send me a time-stamped file from another node every day, to see if they would purge files as the previous year regardless of my complaints, which they didn't. This year I simply don't care and will not even consider complaining if they do. 4. The chances that I use ERIC@FRECP11 again in my life are less than 1%. As I said, they did not even consider offering me a job (which I would have refused anyway :-) ). So, please change your names files to point to CEARN (not LEPICS) instead of FRECP11. I am considering writing an exec to overcome the laziness of the 5-10 persons or so who regularly send me mail at FRECP11: first time you do it, you get a nastygram. Second time, your mail is auto-discarded :-) The reason I'm mailing to the list is that there are also a lot of occasional mail writers who use the old address. Eric
