Looks like everything's back up and running at NIST, as of 16.40 ET: http://ts.nist.gov/ts/htdocs/200/202/mpo_home.htm Nat -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of James R. Frysinger Sent: Monday, 2001 July 23 17:08 To: U.S. Metric Association Subject: [USMA:14571] Re: metric usage at www.whyfiles.org Yes, much of the information that used to reside on the Metric Program Office site has now migrated to the Physics site, as Bill describes below. Nonetheless, the Metric Program Office site http://ts.nist.gov/ts/htdocs/200/202/mpo_home.htm returns a 404 error, even when attempts are made to open in from the alphabetical listing on NIST's main pages. For example, from http://www.nist.gov/public_affairs/siteindex.htm There has been some reorganization in this area and I suspect that all the bits and pieces have not yet been put in their new places. I am a bit concerned that I didn't see any reference to the MPO on the Office of Weights and Measures page at http://ts.nist.gov/ts/htdocs/230/235/owmhome.htm It seems to me that this would have been a logical place to put a highly visible link to the MPO. But I did go to http://www.ts.nist.gov/ and that gave me a link to http://ois.nist.gov/tsweb/orglinks.cfm?DivisionNo=202 On that page is "202 Metric Programs" and a description of the MPO, headed by Gerry Iannelli. The link on that page http://ts.nist.gov/ts/htdocs/200/202/mpo_home.htm is also broken, though. I still think they are rearranging wires and hyperlinks; we've just caught them in medias res.
