IMP System change notification

RFC 343              IMP System Change Notification             May 1972


IV.  We hope to accomplish release of IMPSYS 2600 on the next attempt.
     Nevertheless, we are not omniscient and may again be thwarted by
     difficulties.  Accordingly, we are scheduling the next attempt for
     Wednesday, May 31, and subsequently every Tuesday (June 6, 13, 20,
     ...) until the release is successfully accomplished.  We will
     arrange the release process so that site operator coverage is not
     required; nevertheless we hope that the normal site operator
     coverage is available in case unanticipated problems develop.
     Release of the new system will begin early in the day
     (approximately 7 a.m. EDT).  We again suggest that sites do not
     schedule production work over the network during the release
     attempt(s).  We will notify each site by phone after the release
     has been successfully completed.

     Finally, we apologize in advance for any inconvenience caused by
     the contortions required to release this new system, and thank all
     of the site operations' staffs who worked with us on May 15 for
     their cooperation.
