You can get the spec off vax.ftp.com, in /pub/packet_d.{mss, ascii, prn}.
The .mss file is a Scribe/Final Word/Sprint input file; the .ascii file is
plain text; the .prn file is output for an HP Laserjet II.

The copyright is as follows:

Copyright (c) 1986, 1989 by FTP Software Inc.	 Permission  is  granted to

document  may  be   re-formatted   or	translated,   but   the  functional
specification  of the programming interface described  herein  may  not  be
changed  without  FTP  Software's permission.  FTP Software's name and this
notice	 must	appear	 on  any  reproduction	of  this  document.


In other words, you're free to use and redistribute the specification. It
wouldn't do anybody any service to keep it hidden away.
