       This is an announcement of a partial interruption in service this
    afternoon on the Berkeley Macintosh Support Web site at
    <URL:http://mac.berkeley.edu/>.

       Software downloads initiated by clicking many of the download
    buttons on this site's pages will fail. This is a temporary
    condition, and we expect it to be resolved by this evening (Monday,
    September 11, 2000). See Greg Small's note, below, for details.

    Specifics:

    Visitors to this site will see an error message (such as "connection
    failure" or "server may not be accepting connections") after clicking
    a "Download from UCB" button, then clicking the
    subsequently-presented download link.

       Software downloads initiated by clicking any of the "Download from
    Vendor" buttons on this site are not affected by this problem. In
    addition, all of the informational content on this site continues to
    be available.

       Much of the software which can be downloaded from this site also
    continues to be available via the Cornucopia AppleShare file server,
    which is accessible in the "Workstation Support" AppleTalk zone or
    via AppleShare IP as the host cornucopia.berkeley.edu.
