                            News bulletin #126
                             22-October-1998


Today's topics:
- PAC files for libraries and general WEB access.
- IMSL software.
- A letter from the security department about parking arrangements.


o PAC files: A centrally managed proxy automatic configuration file (PAC)
  has been deployed by the Edmond J. Safra branch of HUCA. It is strongly
  suggested that all Netscape users define  pac.huji.ac.il/proxy.pac  as
  their  Automatic  Proxy  Configuration  option.  For full details, see
  http://pac.huji.ac.il.

  As noted in a previous news bulletin, library archive access  via  the
  Internet will be denied to browsers which do not use a proxy server in
  the huji domain.  Defining proxy.pac as above will  assure  the  users
  that their proxy definitions will always be up to date.

  Note for BC users who authenticate to the proxy  with  password:   You
  should  not  use  this PAC file as you'll be connected to the standard
  proxy.  All other BC users are detected by this PAC file and  directed
  to the relevant proxy machine.


o IMSL users - please send a note to marian@cc.huji.ac.il  stating  that
  you are an IMSL user.


o Parking arrangements:  The following bulletin has been written by  the
  security department and is passed to you as-is.
