INTRODUCTION TO SOFTWARE.WATSON.IBM.COM

Welcome to the IBM FTP Server.  In case of problems or for suggestions
for improvement, contact Nicholas R. Trio (nrt@watson.ibm.com 
I probably can't help much with the fixes, etc. myself since
I just put the stuff out here they send me, but I can help if you're
having a problem with this server.  If I'm not at my desk, just leave
me a message...do not call anyone else since they can't help you.
Also don't ask when stuff might show up or how to use the software
here since I probably can't help on that.
