We (Xeroids) have been informed that "according to Xerox management, Xerox policy is to send NO information on Xerox products over the Arpanet. Thus, APOLLO should be considered to be one-way (inward only) with regard to Xerox products." I'm just a low man on the totem pole, so I speak only for myself, but I suspect that there are two concerns here. One is that we don't want to do anything that could be construed as "selling" (even if only as a passive response to people's technical questions) over the net. The other is that we insiders tend to lose track of what's officially announced and what isn't, and what's part of our product as opposed to our development environment. I certainly encourage other Arpanet sites to share their perceptions and expectations of Star. Doubtless such reactions will be one of many valuable sources of input to determine the product's future. --Bruce
