Re: HPSS

Bill:

We will be installing HPSS within the Center for Computational Science
and Technology (run by the Mathematics and Computer Science Division)
at Argonne.  We'd be happy to talk to people with an interest in HPSS.

We expect to make considerable use of HPSS within a DOE 'grand challenge'
project concerned with supercomputer analysis of APS data: see
http://www.mcs.anl.gov/xray for details.

Regards -- Ian.
