The latest floppy disk release (65) shipped a couple of weeks ago but
is not available for FTP yet.  Our FTP area is tight on space and we
are awaiting the arrival of a new IPI disk for genbank.bio.net which
has been delayed.  We have been told that the disk will ship at the
end of January.  The latest floppy disk release is significantly
larger than the one there presently and putting it up would almost
completely exhaust room for our daily updates.  We intend to expand
the entire FTP offerings, including adding SWISS-PROT, after the new
disk arrives.  If we can clean out space (which I doubt), I might have
the floppy directory updated sooner.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

				Sincerely,

				Dave Kristofferson
