IMP System change notification
Alternative Format: Original Text Document
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.
