Hello, I have been told to learn all I can about X.400. So I am about to sit down and read through RFC 1026 (Mapping between X.400 and RFC 822) to see if I can glean any information out of it. It is the only documentation I have. I would appreciate pointers to any other information about X.400 or any info about implementations of X.400. Thanks in advance, Steve Parr sfp@aplvax.jhuapl.edu sfp@aplvax.arpa

Hello, I must admit it is quite difficult to get information on X.400. If you call ANSI at (212) 354-3300, you can ask a copy of THE standard. But be warned. It costs $29.00 and it is VERY dull reading. I have been looking in journal indexes hoping to find an artical on X.400 that is more of a tutorial than a reference. Anyone out there find such a article??? Vance Morrison Northwestern University morrison@accuvax.nwu.edu

Anyone out there find such > a article??? I would assume what you would get using the route would be the same as is published in the CCITT Red Book (the 1984 series of recommendations). While this is reasonable stuff to read (especially when you are having a hard time getting to sleep), it is outdated since the Blue books will be coming out soon (the 1988 version). For more current information, you might try getting in touch with Omnicom, Inc. They carry not only the ANSI and CCITT documents, but copies of a lot of the working documents for the new versions of these standards/recommendations. They can be reached at (703) 281-1135. -- Tim Kehres -- kehres@tis.llnl.gov
