Bill:

Are you currently on the CPU-XA mailing list?  If so, do you know the
current mailing llist name?

I tried to subscribe to it over the weekend and all of my requests were
bounced back to me with an error in the list name.  I tried a lot of
different possibilities for the name (including CPUXA, cpuxa, CPU-XA, cpu-xa
and Ocelot) and got the same error each time.

Any suggestions?

Kevin
