| 2426.2 | FYI - relocation convention | DREGS::BLICKSTEIN | This is your brain on Unix | Tue Aug 28 1990 09:36 | 11 | 
|  |     John,
    
    For future reference...
    
    There's a convention such that whenever a notesfile is moved, a
    pointer to the new location is left in the old location.  When you
    OPEN MUSIC in the old location, you'll find a one note conference
    that just tells you everything.

| 2426.3 | Sometimes it's a cousin twice removed | VFOVAX::BELL | I'm telepathetic. | Tue Aug 28 1990 10:55 | 9 | 
|  |     That doesn't work when the conference has been moved twice since you
    last visited it.  I had quite a time finding EASYNET_CONFERENCES after
    a jog to school (I think it's on TURRIS now).  Or COMMUSIC after it
    left QUILL a while ago.
    
    If you can't find a conference, check in EASYNET_CONFERENCES as they
    will have the updates.  So keep up with where it's at!

|  |     $ vtx easynotes
    will get you the list, for example look under employee interests

| 2426.5 | Well... | DREGS::BLICKSTEIN | This is your brain on Unix | Wed Aug 29 1990 08:55 | 5 |

    Well, even pointers to relocated conferences have to have some sort of
    statute of limitations.  I think a 6 months is reasonable.

| 2426.6 | Thanks | MFGMEM::MICHAUD | Think about software that thinks! | Thu Aug 30 1990 08:43 | 6 |

    Looks to me like no one really know where it is:
    
    thanks

| 2426.7 | OK - here's the story | DREGS::BLICKSTEIN | This is your brain on Unix | Thu Aug 30 1990 09:54 | 13 | 
|  |     While I didn't say where it was, I told you how to find out.
    
    It's on TIMBRE:: now, but you really should read the forwarding
    note as you may encounter problems referencing it.  TIMBRE is a new
    node and may not be in your database - the forwarding note warns
    about that problem and tells you how to deal with it if you encounter
    it.
    
    I probably should've mentioned it directly but the idea was to
    encourage you to read the forwarding note without me having to
    type in why.

|  |     .. and if your node doesn't know about TIMBRE, other systems do, and
    you can (with privileges) 
    
    $ MC NCP
    NCP> TELL ANCHOR SH NODE TIMBRE  (which responds:)
    Node Volatile Summary as of 30-AUG-1990 10:12:15

    .. and you've got it.  karl
