Status Report
------------- The IPPE continues to enjoy a rate of access of
approximately 100 users per day at our main site in Japan. Additional
accesses to the many North American and European sites mirroring the
IPPE collection probably exceed this number.
Our World Wide Web service is now fully operational, and supplements the
previous methods of access via Gopher, ftp, and automated email. Watch
this newsletter for announcements of new services soon to be available on
our WWW service (
http://phil-preprints.L.chiba-u.ac.jp/IPPE.html).
