Having not been in my first blizzard, am quite envious as
Melbourne is the wrong place to enjoy this type of experience.

No probs for this. On the list of Friday's jobs - though
"mirror happy" "relative (not absolute)" links within the
http://www.ill.fr/dif/ subdirectory area would be
nice if this hasn't been done already.
(http://www.ccp14.ac.uk/bad-link.html is one of the most
popular CCP14 web pages due to difficulties in auto-fixing
"absolute" links to "relative" of the (changing) mirrored
material)
On a general Note to list subscribers:
If your favourite freely available UK CCP14 Mirrored
powder or single crystal diffraction software is not
included on the Australian mirror, please feel free to
request this.
The main constraint is Space considerations - and
obtaining permission of original web/ftp site owners.
(World Directory of Powder Programs would be nice but
allowed quota permissions would need changing - it is
~500 Meg of Material)

If I mentioned CSIRO Minerals has an internet firewall installed,
would I need to elaborate further to ILL and ESRF staff or users?
The network person I am collaborating with is away enjoying the
lack of snow for three weeks. I have also promised to try and
not destroy the local network; and not install Linux on
every PC I find. Despite these unreasonable restraints, will
see what could happen with Web server stuff after the Melbourne
AXAA 99 conference. The CSIRO Division of Minerals have been
very generous with providing resources for the CCP14 Mirroring
and other things may be possible.
Lachlan.
