What we distribute on the X tape is the Andrew Toolkit (ATK) and the Andrew Message System (AMS). ATK is a multimedia user interface tool kit and comes shipped with example applications. AMS is a multimedia mail and bboard system that can use a network based client-server system for connecting its message database with different user interfaces (one of which is built with ATK). The Andrew File System is not available on the X tape. When the X tape becomes available in early January, we will post a more comprehensive note. -Mark
