Courtney: You were right of course. Apparently the cluster I had been using was down, and then my HOST file was so old that the next several I tried were also non-operational. Finally got to one that worked and all is well.
Didn't someone once post an up-to-date HOST file of operational cluster sites? Is there one available that is reasonably up-to-date. I looked on the DXBase site and didn't see one...
