I have made some updates to the information in the PostScript file
server, for those of you who are interested. If you don't know what
the file server is, send mail that looks something like this:
To: ps-file-server@adobe.COM
Subject: help
send index
This will send you both "help" information and an index of the
categories of information currently available.
Notable additions to the file server are many Printer Description Files
(Available under the main heading PPDFiles), all of the numbered "Green
Book" program listings from our new book, many new AFM files (the
complete library, currently, with about 238 files total), and the
following additional programs and documents:
60774 Documents/PPDFiles1.ps
48572 Documents/PPDFiles2.ps
25584 Documents/usingPPDfiles.ps
62675 Documents/fontformats1.ps % various disk-file formats
54739 Documents/fontformats2.ps
49054 Programs/greenbook.shar % all the green book progs
1757 Programs/fontdir.ps
Here is a list of the currently available Printer Description files.
They are all available as PPDFiles/* from the server. This should save
you the trouble of sending an "index" request:
