Transfer Schedule: 

   We have data from 1996-present. We are planning to send the backlog of data starting August 9.

Additional Notes:

	The cronttab is set to pick up data on the 28th day of
	each month and to pick up data on a 2 month delay. So, for example, on 
	April 28th, 2004, it will pick up the data for all of February,2004.

              Please see http://www.arm.gov/xds/static/ssmi.stm  and BCR-00848 for the details.
