* Date Sent 6-14-83 * Node Connected Machine DIV WHERE OPERATOR * To-How Type NUMBER + CPHVMCE * CPHVM1-9 4341-VM EMEA Copenhagen, Denmark - CPHVMEC * CPHVM1-9 4341-VM EMEA Copenhagen, Denmark * I have just received word that CPHVMEC, the 1000th node that * appeared 6-10-83 was the incorrect node name due to some misunder- * standing in Copenhagen. CPHVMCE is the correct name.
