[R-390] Logsa site

Thu, 10 Jan 2002 12:09:29 -0500

Hi Dave & list:

I've been having trouble with the LOGSA site lately.  It used to be that I'd
be able to download any file not requiring an ID/password.  Now, I just get
a fragment of the pdf files -- goes through really quickly, but he file
doesn't download.  Or I'd get an access forbidden message if I just click on
the file as if to open it into acrobat right off.

Yet more curious -- one one of my computers, running IE 5.5, I think, I
can't right-click/download, but I can open the smaller files directly into
acrobat and do a save-as from there.

I posted an inquiry to the LOGSA people.  Reply said that you need to be
accessing from an army or gov't. system or need an account.  There are ways
to get an account without re-enlisting ;-), but you need a sponsor.

Incidentally, one of those 8640B manuals says something about "Patriot
Missile System" on the cover.  Also, I don't see the mil/ruggedized 8640B
opt 323 anywhere on there.  (If you need the 8640B, it's also on the bama
site).

Anybody else notice a change in the LOGSA site?  I suspect it may have to do
with 9/11.

Barry
