Has anyone tried recently to connect to ftp.hifn.com ? I haven't been able to connect from multiple locations.

Howdy misc@ Though I stayed out of the last public fiasco regarding HiFn here on the misc@ list, I privately contacted the people I know at the company. I didn't reply just to Hank Cohen who posted here on misc@ but I also included the VP of engineering (Russ Dietz), the CEO (Chris Kebner) and the VP of marketing (Tom Moore). I just got a call this afternoon from Tom Moore to let me know they've set up an anon FTP site (no registration) with their documentation: ftp://ftp.hifn.com This should take care of any of the long standing issues OpenBSD has had with the HiFn's procedures for releasing documentation. I was told HiFn is still working on their new ftp site, so I'm not sure how complete it is at the moment but at least we know there's a start and they are willing to continue working on it. Please check out the readme on the FTP. Basically it says if you wish to automatically get the HiFn updates/errata/notifications, you should probably sign up for the HiFn "extranet" thing. You don't have to but you can if you want. Kind Regards, JCR -- Free, Open Source CAD, CAM and EDA Tools http://www.DesignTools.org
