This message is intended to inform new users about the
Adobe File Server and to announce recent updates on the
server to those of you who have been using it already.
The Adobe File Server is an automatic mail-response
program. That means that you mail it a request, and
it mails back the response.
To get in touch with the server, send a message to
"ps-file-server@adobe.COM" containing the word "help" in
either the Subject: field or the message body. It will reply
with a message on how to use the available services.
There are many items available from the server; Documents (as
PostScript files), program sources, Adobe Font Metrics
files, PostScript Printer Description files, and other
things.
You might send a *second* message containing the word
"index" to save some time once you get the help message.
If you have any problems contacting the server, or you have
any suggestions, please send a message to the moderator
(ps-file-person@adobe.COM).
