- Recently, it was announced here that it is possible to anonymously ftp
- Merge Ahead demo software (the tool for merging text or code) from netcom.com.
- Unfortunately, due to bad karma or something, the ftp disk the netcom
- service uses became corrupt, preventing ftp access to our directories.
- As of this time, our directories have not been restored, and so are
- still unavailable. I've been receiving many calls from co.sw-e readers who have
- been unsuccessful in accessing this directory, hence this notice of
- outage here. I will post a followup here when service has been
- restored.
-
- We reported the problem to the network service provider we use,
- netcom, yesterday and we continue to work with them in hopes of
- speedy restoration of service. At this time we have no ETA from netcom
- to restoration. Netcom is currently our sole provider of anonymous
- ftp, so until the are fixed, or we can secure a second provider
- willing to provide us with an ftpable directory, on line demo
- availability by ftp will be limited. Offers of alternative locations
- for making this software available are welcome.
-
- We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused people.
