        For the last several days SIO has been getting only about half
        of the regular difax charts.  We get our difax from Unisys and
        wondered if this was just a Unisys problem or is it a NWS glitch?

        I know that NWS lost one of it's Crays and thought this might be
        what's causing the problem but, if that were the case, there
        should be a repeating pattern in the maps that are missing.  
        This does not appear to be the case with the difax I get.

        Is this the experience that others are having with difax from a
        non-Unisys source?  Or is it that Unisys' computers are, from
        time to time, out to lunch?
