Dear Gabe,

That is the correct URL.
=======================

During Friday, June 9th, there were three successful accesses to the correct
virtual library URL from the domain compuserve.com (ad15-002.compuserve.com, 
dd08-028.compuserve.com, and dd04-020.compuserve.com at 01:11:25, 
08:53:16. and 16:46:51 UTC, correspondingly).

Two unsuccessful accesses were made by users on ad14-029.compuserve.com and 
dd12-012.compuserve.com (at 16:02:19 and 16:13:09 UTC, correspondingly)
Both of them were addressed to "forestry.html", not using the capital "F".  
I suggest you try again with the correct spelling.  Our server runs in an
unix machine and thus the capital and small letters have a significance. 

I do not know how the compuserve inet-addresses are created, and thus
requests from a single user may be registered under several inet-addresses
if they are committed under separate Internet-sessions. Normally 
several users may be under the same inet-number. 

If you tried from somewhere else, I would need to know the address from
where the access was made and also the error message, otherwise I
cannot help solving any access problems. 

Always, check the error message which you receive. In this case:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
404 Not Found
*************
The requested URL /info/vlib/forestry.html was not found on this server.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

means that either 1) you misspelled the address, 2) the file has
been moved to another location, or 3) the file has disappeared forever. 
Often URL addresses containging a tilde-sign (~) are more unstable (files
are located under private user-accounts).

I suggest patience to all users and please, try again, if you cannot
readily access a foreign URL. The lines over (and under) the Atlantic are 
very congested during afternoons (UTC, US daytime). 



Thank you for using the Virtual Library,
Jarmo Saarikko
