Ben,

Has the name or IP address of anvil changed recently?  I'm not getting
there - DNS isn't finding anvil:


(anne) imogene:/home/anne/ldmCode/src/scripts 183 % nslookup
anvil.eas.perdue.edu
Note:  nslookup is deprecated and may be removed from future releases.
Consider using the `dig' or `host' programs instead.  Run nslookup with
the `-sil[ent]' option to prevent this message from appearing.
Server:         128.117.140.62
Address:        128.117.140.62#53

** server can't find anvil.eas.perdue.edu: NXDOMAIN

If the name hasn't changed, please send me the IP address.

Thanks!

Anne
