[comp.soft-sys.andrew] Do you think you can stand one more stupid question?

billd@fps.com (Bill Davids_on) (11/30/89)

I've asked around.  I've gotten conflicting explanations.  I'm
confused.  Can someone please give me a quick description of what
andrew is, and what has to be done to aquire it?

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.
