From: adobe!greid@labrea.stanford.edu (Glenn Reid) Date: 2 May 1987 1345-PDT (Saturday) 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.
