Adobe use to run a file server.  I'd send a special message to
adobe!ps-file-server@sun.com  or adobe.com!ps-file-server@decwrl.dec.com
and receive various pieces of information such as
	Adobe Document Structuring Conventions
	Adobe Font Metric File Specification
	AFM files for currently released Adobe fonts
and other juicy tidbits, that make life a bit easier.

Somewhere between 03-Mar and 10-Apr it stopped working for me.
I send messages and get no replies.

I sent a message to adobe!ps-file-manager@sun.com.
I understood that this was to be a real person.
My message was returned from adobe.com with "User Unknown".

My question is...
Has Adobe discontinued this service?  Or are my mail systems
just screwed up?
