Since FEB 1984, INFO-HZ100 has faithfully served the H/Z-100 Internet
community from RADC's powerful DECSYSTEM-20 36-bit mainframe.  Unfortunately,
large mainframes are not as economical as maintaining a lot of little
machines (VAXen, SUN Workstations, etc), hence as of 1-OCT-90, this system
has lost all funding support and maintainence.  Past experience shows that
without DEC maintanence, it will become unstable (a month perhaps).  I am
typing this on 'borrowed time' for when this great DECSYSTEM20 crashes,
it will be its last cycle.

We are attempting a rehost of INFO-HZ100 onto a SUN Workstation that will
take the name and IP address of the TOPS20 as soon as it is unplugged.
Hence, some disruption in INFO-HZ100 may be noticed.
