Information has been posted last week about how to get to the server.

what you do is
mail ps-file-server@adobe.com  <return<
type in a message.
send help     gets you a help file
send index	gets you a area index
send index AFMFiles will get you a list of AFM files, etc.
There is a program, documentaion, and AFM section.

The next day, you should have a reply from the server.  It is a slow way to
do things, but it works....

Cheers
