The Adobe Systems PostScript File Server is now ready for testing and use.

The File Server is a mail-request service; you send it a message with
instructions to send you files back as electronic mail.  Keep the
instructions simple and accurate, since they are being parsed by a
program, not read by a human being.

The local address to send requests to is:

	adobe!ps-file-server

Depending on your connection to the world (and ours) there are various
possible ways to get mail to this address.  We currently have a UUCP link
with several local hosts:

	decwrl!   \
	sun!	   >	!adobe!ps-file-server
	labrea!   /

and we can usually be reached on the internet at the logical address:

	ps-file-server@adobe.COM

(which is actually a connection through Sun Microsystems) or through decwrl:

	adobe!ps-file-server@decwrl.DEC.COM


I would like to start using the system and get it debugged.  I believe it to
be working (and my local tests work fine) but it is, after all, a computer
system.  Please feel free to try the service out, and let me know if it
isn't working.  I will follow this message with two others:  the first will
be the message that you would get if you sent a "help" message to the file
server (it will explain in further detail how to use the service), and the
second is the message that you would get if you sent it a "send index"
message (it is an index of topics and files available for retrieval).

Thanks for your continued interest.
