CCI, Central Engineering will be changing our site names to live within the 6 char max site name length graciously imposed by USG's uucp. We've been approved by the uucp site name registry to change from cciengx to ccicex. ("ce" stands for "central engineering"). So, --old-- --new-- ccieng2 --> ccice2 ccieng5 --> ccice5 ccieng6 --> ccice6 The new names will be in place on Monday, September 10, 1984. The actual conversion will take place sometime between Friday 9/7 at 5pm and Monday 9/10 at 8:15am. Our uucp neighbors will know about both names for a few weeks. After this interim period uucp mail to the old names will fail. Tim Becker CCI, Central Engineering ..!rochester!ccieng5!tim
