IPC/WHMA-A-620 Acceptability and Requirements for Cable/Wire Harness Assemblies is progressing well.  It is projected to be circulated as a Proposed Standard within a week pending some last minute tweaks. The goal is still to have it published this year.

You can download review files from the IPC public FTP site using a standard browser (but NOT the AOL built-in browser).  Just launch your Netscape or Internet Explorer (if using AOL, log on first, THEN launch one of the browsers and everything will work fine).  In the URL Address line, put ONLY the following numbers.  DO NOT PUT ANY LETTERS like www or anything:  216.203.210.37

You'll see a folder called 620-WireDocs.  Open it and you'll see the files.  Start with 620-01 for an index and document scope.  Send comments to me directly (OFF NET). Some chapters have both high and low resolution illustrations.  Content is the same, high resolution files have better quality pictures but take longer to download with a slow modem connection.

Hope this helps.
Jack
