A New Secure Download Area For Software Updates
One of the most notable change in the new web site is the improved download area
for software updates. Contrary to the old system where you were redirected to a
standard FTP interface, the new system redirects you to an easy to use HTML page
which clearly indicates which files are available to download, their description,
date and file size. This page also uses the HTTP protocol for downloading instead
of the FTP protocol. This is to accommodate some CDEGS users whose network
policies prohibited them for using the FTP protocol. The FTP protocol is the
standard internet protocol for file transfer. Many companies now prohibit their
network users from using this protocol in an effort to protect the network from
users downloading virus-infected files from the internet. To access the
download area for software updates: www.sestech.com/Download/updates.asp

SES’ Discussion Forum
On August 31, 2000, SES launched its first online discussion forum
(www.sestech.com/forum/forum.asp).
This discussion group focuses on electrical engineering and the use of the CDEGS
software. This forum which now has over 150 members offers an optional email service.
This service automatically sends an email to all registered forum users when a new post is added to the forum.
Search Engine
A search engine accessible from every page of the web site is a new feature of
www.sestech.com. This search engine enables a web visitor to search the entire web site for
content.
Frequently Asked Question
This new section
(www.sestech.com/q_a/FAQ.asp)
contains answers to frequently asked questions on various topics ranging from
the use of the CDEGS software to installation issues.
Online CDEGS slide show
This new internet slide show demonstrates an example of the study
of a substation grounding in simple/complex soil structures using
the AutoGround / MultiGround software packages. This slide show is only
avalable for the Microsoft Internet Explorer browser.
