[Difx-users] GSFC website down

[David Gordon]

Hi Barry,

Sorry, I came down with the flu two days ago and have been mostly dead 
to the world. They got the old GFSC web sites working again. So for now 
you and others can download this file from:

https://gemini.gsfc.nasa.gov/solve_apriori/usno500_finals.erp

Let me know if there are any problems.

Cheers,
David
