            Announcement of Temporary Interruption of Access to
                     The Protein Information Resource

The National Biomedical Research Foundation will not have direct access to
BITNET from 17:00 EST Friday 20 November through about 12:00 EST Monday 23

Users who normally access the PIR Network Request Server through BITNET
channels can expect a delay in response until full channel operation is
restored.

This interruption will not affect our On-line System users or users who
normally access the server through Internet channels.  BITNET users may
wish to attempt to access our server through a gateway at the Internet address

We regret any inconvenience this temporary loss of service will cause.
