This message is intended to inform new users about the Adobe File Server 
and to announce recent updates on the server to those of you who have 
been using it already. If you're already familiar with the Adobe File
Server, jump to the end of this message for a list of recent updates.

WHAT IS THE ADOBE FILE SERVER?

The Adobe File Server is an automatic mail-response program. That means 
that you mail it a request, and it mails back the response.

To get in touch with the server, send a message to:

    "ps-file-server@adobe.COM"  OR
    {sun, decwrl, apple}!adobe!ps-file-server

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 things.

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.
__________

NO RESPONSE?

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).
Do NOT send requests for files to this address.
