The server has gathered several subdomains over the years of musical 
servers, www.coe.missouri.edu, tiger.coe.missouri.edu 
iats-coe1.missouri.edu.  They will simply delete the subdomains rather 
than maintain their entry in the DNS pointing to the new server.  That's 
sufficient, but even if they were to maintain them, they are not going 
to allow any ~ access of accounts.   They are setting everybody up with 
their own subdomain, e.g., kidtools.missouri.edu, 
strategytools.missouri.edu, vrcbd.missouri.edu... etc. What's ironic is 
that 8.5 years ago I _tried_ to get the subdomain 'kidtools' and was 
refused... told that they did not do that *grin*  Now they are insisting.
