<p class="MsoNormal">After several months of delays, we have finally gotten a new host for the EOP
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">files, usno_finals.erp and usno500_finals.erp. They are now going to the CDDIS<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">data center. You can get them either using anonymous ftp:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">ftp cddis.gsfc.nasa.gov<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">and cd to:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">cd vlbi/gsfc/ancillary/solve_apriori<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">or you can use a web browser:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">They are now being generated on a different computer at 11:00 PM
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">local time at GSFC (Eastern Daylight Time) or 03:00 UTC and transferred<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">to cddis shortly afterwards. Previously they were generated at 4:30 AM
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">local time (8:30 UTC). As such, they will look a little different, with the
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">previous day’s time stamp, and different first and last dates, but with the
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">same ‘Last date with real data:’. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hopefully the new system will be robust, but let me know if you have<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">any problems. I want to thank Walter Brisken and NRAO for hosting<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">these files for the last few months. <o:p></o:p></p>
