As of July 1, 1997, CIT will no longer support Bear Access for DOS. CIT stopped distributing DOS Bear Access last year and is now in the final stage of a gradual phase-out caused by the computing industry's lack of active development of DOS client software and Cornell's growing need for increased Windows 95 and NT support. The decision to phase out DOS Bear Access was made in collaboration with computing support providers in departments across Cornell.
Though consulting support for DOS Bear Access will no longer be available, the HelpDesk will continue to distribute a SafetyNet account to those who cannot run Windows Bear Access. Contact the ATS HelpDesk (119 CCC, helpdesk@cornell.edu ) for more information.
Statistics available for CU People Web pages
CU People subscribers: you can now obtain monthly statistics reports that tell you how often your Web site is visited. Once you sign up for this service, reports will be generated at the beginning of each month and sent to you via e-mail or saved as a file in your CU People Web page space. In addition, you will receive reports for previous months, starting with the month in which you registered, up to but not including the current month. For example, if you signed up for your CU People Web page on Jan. 15 and you submit your request for statistics in June, you will be sent (within a couple of days) reports for January, February, March, April and May. You will receive your report for June at the beginning of July.
