Date: Thu, 23 May 91 20:06:54 EDT From: rps@arbortext.com Hi. I tried ftp'ing to shambala.berkeley.edu. Is that the correct name? We have name service, but it was unable to find it. Ooops, I screwed up. shambala is the ftp site for xgraph-11. scam.berkeley.edu (Internet 128.32.138.1) is the site for viola. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Sounds interesting. The note said: Try Viola from shambala.berkeley.edu. 1) shambala is really shambhala 2) I can't find it there. Does anyone know where it really is?
