@section CCSO PH/QI
The Central Computing Services Office (CCSO) of the University of
-Illinois at Urbana Champaign (UIUC) created and freely distributes a
-directory system that is currently in use in more than 300 organizations

+Illinois at Urbana Champaign created and freely distributed a
+directory system that was used by many organizations in the 1990s.
+The system records information about people such as their address,
+phone number, email, academic information or any other details it was
+configured to. Nowadays this system is not widely used.
The system consists of two parts: a database server traditionally called
-@samp{qi} and a command-line client called @samp{ph}.
-@url{ftp://uiarchive.cso.uiuc.edu/pub/packages/ph} is the main
-distribution site. @url{http://www.uiuc.edu/cgi-bin/ph/lookup?Query=.}
-provides a listing of the active @samp{qi} servers.
+@samp{qi} and a command-line client called @samp{ph}. As of 2010, the
+code can still be downloaded from @url{http://www-dev.cites.uiuc.edu/ph/}.
