There is no such thing as an ASCII version of the file.  Since it
is a specification, there is only one instance of it, to avoid the
possibility of errors creeping in.  There is also typographic
and formatting treatment that gets lost when you have an
ASCII-only document.

The specification is available as a PostScript program that you can
print on your PostScript printer (it is ascii in this form, but I don't
think that's what you meant) or in paper form.  To get the PS file,
send this mail message:

To: ps-file-server@adobe.COM
Subject: send Documents EPSF.ps
From: you

To get the paper copy, call 415-962-4111.
