                               Update on NTDB

 [The Department of Commerce has supplied the following update to the
 information given in Administrative Notes, v. 20, # 18, 12/15/99.]

 The userid and password are for accessing the Commerce/ESA ftp site, not
 WS_FTP's web site.

 The ftp site is <ftpserv.esa.doc.gov>.

 STAT-USA has developed the NTDB Quick Start Manual, which will be loaded
 to an ftp server, located at <ftpser.esa.doc.gov>. To access this site
 you cannot use your Internet web browser. Instead, use a stand-alone
 program like WS_FTP, available for free from <http://www.ipswitch.com>,
 and access it that way. Use <ntdb> for both the user name and password to
 access the site.
