[comp.graphics] Randi Rost, can you hear me? Or 'Where is DECWRL?'

cmp7131@sys.uea.ac.uk (M. Plumtree) (02/16/90)

Firstly I would like to thank you for providing the object-archive-server
service. I have managed to receive the VW Beetle data, and use it to test my
program. However, when I tried to request some more data, the mailer did not
recognise the domain DECWRL. This I found to be a little odd considering that
a week ago it had been quite happy with it.

Perhaps some news of great import has passed me by, and DECWRL has changed
name to something else (DECUAC perhaps, but that didn't work either) or perhaps
something has gone wrong with the mailer (which I doubt). Either way, I thought
you may be able to help, and the only way I could reach you was through USENET.

I apologise profusely to anyone who is angered by the use of the news as a
personal mail system, but I have tried many alternatives to find out the answer
and none have helped. Please, no flames.

Thank you,

Both Randi and DECWRL are both still alive.  DECWRL is the gateway 
for most of DEC, so it doesn't "go away" too often.

Try again.
