Information communicated by telegram and especially by telex (to the TWX number above) will almost invariably be received quickly and satisfactorily. The CBAT/MPC Computer Service provides an even more efficient means of communication of data, and use of BITNET/EARN messages to MARSDEN1 on computer node CFA1 has also proven reliable. If a contributor wishes to ensure that a message is received, he or she should send a second copy by an alternate route; this could be, in particular, a mailed copy to the postal address above. 1986 July 23 (4237) Brian G. Marsden
