The PS-File-Server is an automatic mail-response program. That means you
mail it a request, and it mails back the response. It is not accessible 
via anonymous FTP.

To get in touch with the server, send a message to the appropriate address,
either:
	uucp: {sun,decwrl}!adobe!ps-file-server OR
	internet: ps-file-server@adobe.COM
containing the word "help" in either the Subject: field or the message body.
It will reply with a message on how to use the available services.

There are many items available from the server; Documents (as PostScript
files), program sources, Adobe Font Metrics files, PostScript Printer
Description files, and other itmes.

You might send a separate message containing the word "index" to save some
time once you get the help message.

The file server does not respond to requests from users named "root",
"system", "daemon", or "mailer". This is to prevent mail loops from bounced
messages.

Note: If you do not receive help from the server within a day or so, it is
probably because the server's mail to you has bounced. You can try again
and use the "path" command within your message specifying a known return
path that the server should use. For example:
	path pyramid!rutgers!zakkaroo!jj
(substitute whatever address is appropriate)

If you have any problems contacting the server, or you have any suggestions,
please send a message to the moderator (ps-file-person@adobe.COM).
