Subject: SIRTF: Spot Auto-Update


Dear Spitzer observers,

Your Spot is about to auto-update (if it hasn't already) --
save your work before letting it auto-update!

Here's why we had to release a patch today, just a few days
before the deadline:

Version 11 of Spot should allow proposers to submit
proposal justification files of up to 10MB but a bug
prevents Spot from submitting files greater than 2MB
in size (the old limit).

We have patched the java code for this bug and released
it. The next time you start up Spot it will ask you if
you want to auto-update your Spot. We recommend you do this
update ASAP if your PDF file is expected to be greater
than 2MB. Be sure to save your work before exiting Spot
or have it update the next time you start up Spot, and
restart Spot before you submit your proposal.

Apologies for the inconvenience, and apologies if you
get multiple copies of this message.

cheers,
Spitzer Science Center Observer Support
