So, everyone used the boston server, causing it to be overloaded. Boston U. them restricted who could use their webster server. To avoid doing this again, I left a bogus name in the server and removed all the server names that I knew of. If your campus has a NeXT machine, you can install a Webster server on that machine using software written by Steve Hayman (sahayman@iuvax.cs.indiana.edu). I think that it's available for anonymous FTP from that host. Failing that, you'll need to find someone who will let you use their webster server. Good luck. -- Dirk Grunwald -- Univ. of Illinois (grunwald@flute.cs.uiuc.edu)
