Following the RXTE transponder failure on Sept 1st 1999, the production pipeline and the distribution of production data to GOs was placed "on hold". Under some circumstances this failure can introduce gaps into RXTE datasets. We have designed, implemented, and fully tested several software changes to deal appropriately with these gaps, and as of Feb 1st 2000, pipeline production has recommenced. We hope to catch up quickly with the data processing backlog. From this point on, data distribution will be solely electronic via our Online Data Area.
