[comp.parallel] Distribution of BBOOT announcement

curtiss@mimsy.UUCP (Phil Curtiss) (08/25/88)

BBN is now the official distributor of bboot releases.  Users who wish to
get the latest version of bboot may do so by ftping to:

	oracle.bbn.com
	(IP Address:  8.10.0.22).

For those users who have already got a copy from grinch.umiacs.udm.edu,
please note that an Important Disclaimer was not included in the README file.

This disclaimer effectively means that bbn does not, in any way, support the
program bboot. UMIACS does support the program and is where bug reports and
comments should be mailed: para-staff@alv.umd.edu.arpa or 
			   para-staff@grinch.umiacs.umd.edu.arpa

The idea being:

	If you wish to get a copy of bboot, contact bbn through
		ftp to oracle.bbn.com.

	If you wish to report a bug or comment, contact UMIACS through
		mailing to para-staff.

Hope no one is confused by all of this. 

		Wasn't it Shakespear who said,

			"First thing let's do is kill all the lawyers" ?

Tah and enjoy bboot.

				Phil!
