     I believe that "AFS" is intended here to refer to the "Andrew's
     File System", which is some kind of virtual structure that
     permits directories and files from distant computers to appear
     as though they were present in your own local directory system.  I

     don't remember all the details, but at one time I routinely used
     an AFS link to access the Umich software archives from a Unix
account
     at Duke, no FTP required.  Very spiffy.
