EISNER will be moving again soon---as in this week, if all goes well.

With Rob's help, we transferred the contents of all of the disks
yesterday, and I now have virtual EISNER up and running in-house. We
still have some networking work to do before we can switch the systems,
and I'll need to re-transfer the user disks next week to pick up files >created or modified since yesterday.
Whichever day this happens, I plan to shut down access to EISNER while
we move the data and change the DNS entries. Hopefully, access to the
system will only be down for a few hours, whichever day that is.
More info later this week!

Purely out of curiosity, why not host it on x86?

Probably some software not available on x86-64 (or Itanium
since it is Alpha).
Notes maybe.

Yes, NOTES is the primary reason. AFAIK, NOTES was never available for I64 and isn't available for X86.
Notes is available on IA64; still under development on X86 -- hasn't risen to the top of anyone's priority list yet.

In final?
Freeware CD 7.0 has:
* 2.5 for VAX and Alpha
* 2.6 Field Test for Alpha and Itanium
still under development on X86 -- hasn't risen to the top of anyone's priority list yet.
Probably never will.
I consider the VT version obsolete for 30 years and the
DECWindows/MSWindows version obsolete for 20 years.

I suspect there is little difference between the IA64 FT version and
a final version.

We rely on Notes as part of the source management system, so yeah, it'll
get done.
Notes is a conference system and it is not obvious to me
how it related to source control.

Are you at liberty to elaborate on that?
Just curious. Notes is a conference system and it is not

We use CMS for source control. There is an Rdb-driven front end that provides
things that CMS does not, like the concept of sequential streams, and automatic propagation through the streams. For the most part, this
system works well for us.
Notes is used to contain detailed information regarding a source checking.
Depending upon the complexity of the change, the detail can be a few pages.
