Subject: Conservation OnLine moved

Conservation OnLine moved

From: Walter Henry <whenry>
Date: Saturday, January 22, 1994
Effective immediately, Conservation OnLine (CoOL) is no longer located
at aldus.stanford.edu. The new address is

    palimpsest.stanford.edu

Service will be discontinued at the old address, so please start using
the new address immediately.  (This should be the only move you need to
know about; if we move again, it will be 'transparent' to the users).

*   If you use the publicly accessible SWAIS client at
    quake.think.com, wais.com, or sunsite.unc.com, everything is already
    set up and you shouldn't notice any difference.

*   If you are running your own client, you will need to pick up new src
    files.  The following instructions are for the WAIS for Macintosh
    client (also known as WAIStation). For other windows/mac clients,
    the procedure should be similar.

      Open sources and select cool-directory-of-servers. Click on MacTCP
      and replace Address with palimpsest.stanford.edu. Close the
      window's close box, answer YES to "Save changes...?" accepting the
      suggested file name, and answer YES to "Replace?".

      Then open Question/New Question, and drag
      cool-directory-of-servers from the Sources window into the "In
      these sources" area of the Questions window. Enter "source" in the
      "Look for documents about" area, and click Run.  You should get a
      list of 10 databases, all beginning with "cool".

      For each of the 10:
        Double click to retrieve the .src file
        Set whatever options you like (eg fonts, max number of files, etc).

        Click on MacTCP and enter palimpsest.stanford.edu in the Address
        area, overwriting any numeric (IP) address you find; this will
        make it easier on you if we move the server again. If your
        system absolutely chokes on domain names, the IP address is
        36.31.0.8, but if we move again, you're on your own...)

        Click on the window's close box. Answer YES to "Save
        changes...?" accepting the suggested file name. Answer YES to
        "Replace?".
