*************************************************************************** IERS Message No. 18 December 20, 2001 *************************************************************************** IERS Annual Report 2000 An online version of the IERS Annual Report 2000 is available at http://www.iers.org/iers/publications/reports/2000/ The report is presented as PDF file(s), to be read/downloaded completely or by chapters. The report will also be printed and distributed to all subscribers. In case that you are interested in the printed version and do not know whether your address is on our distribution list for annual reports, please feel free to contact us. Please let us also know about address changes during the last two years. Two technical hints on reading the PDF files may be useful: (1) In case that you do not have the Acrobat Reader, there is a link at the annual report page where to get it for free. (2) It is recommended not to use the Acrobat Reader us a plug-in to your browser, because it happens that large PDF files are not shown. This concerns Chapters IV.2 and IV.4, as well as the file with the complete 152 pages. You may set the options of Acrobat Reader so that it will be activated outside the browser (Edit > Preferences > Options > Display PDF in Browser [deactivate]). However, this may not necessarily happen on all computers, so that you may try first to read the documents before changing the options. We wish you and your families a peaceful, happy and successful year 2002, Bernd Richter and Wolfgang Dick IERS Central Bureau *************************************************************************** IERS Messages are edited and distributed by the IERS Central Bureau.
