Mot SPS is trying to migrate to a One SPS Website, which is
supposed to be mot-sps.com.  They took a snapshot of our website
many moons ago.  Of course, while changing the look & feel,
they also want to change the backend and (our) interface to the
servers.  Used to be two servers, one internal and one external.
You did a "Magical Mirror Command" on a Unix box to make the
external the same as the internal.  Now there are three different
servers, the internal, a "staging" server, and the external. I
still don't quite have it figured out, but I do know that
www.mot.com inside the firewall does NOT correspond to www.mot.com
outside the firewall.  On top of that, instead of just letting
us store documents in a .html directory, like sane people, they're
trying to do some kind of Mother of All Document Repositories,
with Magical Automagically Generated Pages, yada yada.

And on top of that, they're making us change to Outlook from
Netscape, and foisting Siebel on us. #include <big long anti-MS

Did the URL I give not work?  Fscking 34@!$%#$@^%$#@%^

I'll try it from home and see if it does or doesn't work.

The patch we have should be updated from the previous one.  The
old one had problems when the CPM was heavily loaded.  This one
is supposed to be nicer to other CPM tasks.

Would you like me to email the package to you?
