     Hello all. We've been forced to make some changes here at PC7. Apparently,
our systems group didn't appreciate the way Howard kludged the anonymous ftp.
It was actually sort of a security hole, but enough of that. In its place, we
have real anonymous ftp. The new procedure (and hopefully last) goes like this...

	      ftp him1.cc.umich.edu              (or 35.1.1.43)
	      name: anonymous
	      pass: whatever
	      cd PC7:
	      ls ?                               (NB: The wildcard is ? not *)

     Do not try to ftp the old way, it just won't work. Also, as a reminder,
the archive on Clio isn't supported anymore, it will be destroyed in a few
days. Everything on there is on PC7. Many people have sent me mail about
problems with accessing PC7. I'm sorry I couldn't answer all of your messages,
but the problems should be fixed now. PC7 is not on a unix machine, it needs
a special piece of hardware (the HIM) to be able to ftp. The HIM is not a
production model yet, thus it is flakey sometimes. Be patient and try again
later if you have problems. If you are still having problems, then send me
a message. 

     Still working on the mail access, and still having problems...
