alan has made an Executive Decision that trying to make ML work again, as
well as keeping AI and MC in good shape, is Too Much Work For One
Overloaded Grad Student However Encouraging His Friends Are. therefore, ML
isn't coming up again. we did a full dump just before it came down in
november, so all the files are available.
    there is a theory about purchasing (yes, we speak of $$) a System
Concepts disk box to hook up to the 2 remaining ITSs; such a thing,
according to the SC folks, would emulate some reasonable number of rp06s
without including their well-known maintenance problems. NB: we do not have
solid commitments on the money yet, so do not assume that we will get this
object. there is reason to believe we will, but no guarantees. if we do,
there should be no problem loading the ML files onto the space so obtained.
in the mean time, we will try to make space for such files available on AI
and MC on an as-needed basis.
    the ML dialups will be moved to MC.
    i have flushed the references to ML from the system-msg addresses and
the inquir updater lists.
