It seems that both of you have a much better grasp of the Internet
situation today than I.  In fact, that much is very clear.  By the first
paragraph, I'd say a large perecentage of the List was lost (at least I
was.)
 
Here at the lab in Tucson, we don't have a very complicated system and I've
been told that an FTP site here is, for the moment, an impossibility.  I've
been "on" the Internet server here for weeks and still don't have a
ars.ag.gov e-mail address...  ("coming soon" in LATE August...)
 
As for the software, it has been successfully transfered to the FTP site at
ag.arizona.edu and as far as I know, everyone who has subscribed has been
able to get it.  Frankly, I'm satisfied right there.  Subscribers who are
having trouble or simply can't reach the site and send us a disk and we'll
install all of the necessary files and mail it back.  No problem.
 
I'd love to have some discussion with those of you who deal with FTP's and
other complicated systems all of the time to bring me up to speed.
 
Cheers,
Mark.
