This document is out of date by a couple of years, and this particular
ASCII version of it contains inaccuracies, typos, and it otherwise a
poor spec to work from.  There are two good ways to get the latest
version of this specification.  The first is to send a mail message to
Adobe to get an electronic version, but you'll get a PostScript file
that you get to print, not something like the above that you can just
read.  The other way is to call 415-962-4111 and ask for the
specification to be sent to you by mail.  If you want to retrieve the
electronic version, send mail that looks like this:

To: ps-file-server@adobe.COM
From: you
Subject: whatever

send Documents EPSF.ps


This is a PROGRAM, not a person, so it is important to get the syntax
just right when you send it.  You can also just send it the word "help"
if you want further instructions on using the file server.

Please delete the copy of this document that you just downloaded from
this newsgroup.
