DECWRL publishes a series of Research Reports that are available via
an automatic service; it's not anonymous FTP, but on the other hand
it is usable by people not at Internet sites.

Users can get help by sending a message to "wrl-techreports@decwrl.dec.com",
with the word "help" on the Subject: line.

Technical notes are for rapid distribution of technical material.  Usually 
this represents work in progress.  Our technical reports may include large 
portions of prior technical notes. 

To see the abstract for any report or note, send the server a message saying 
"send abstract 86/4" or "send abstracts 87/3 TN-7", etc. Capitalization does
not matter.

Not all of the above reports and notes are available in Postscript form.  
To find out which ones are available, send the server a message saying
"send index postscript".
