Subject: 6.2 What can Adobe do for me? 

    Adobe is just one of many companies producing products for 
    PostScript, but it does produce a lot of the best. 

    Adobe offers two resources for software developers. 

   1. Membership in the Adobe Developers Association (ADA) ( $ 
      195/year) 

   2. PostScript Language Software Development Kit (SDK) ( $ 500, $ 250 
      for ADA) 

    The Developer's Association is Adobe's way of knowing who has a 
    serious interest in technical information. Membership includes 
    monthly technical newsletter, phone technical support, discounts on 
    software and hardware. Membership is $ 195/year for each 
    individual. 

    The PostScript Language Software Development Kits collect all 
    Adobe's technical literature for a given platform into a single 
    package. There are four versions, for the Mac, MS-DOS/Windows, 
    NeXTStep, and X/Windows. Each SDK is $ 500 list, $ 250 for ADA 
    members. 

    A selection of technical documents is available from Adobe's file 
    server, including the aforementioned EPS specification. Programs 
    are also available, including level 1 emulations for the level 2 
    color operators. For more information on this, send the one-word 
    message ``help'' to ps-file-server@adobe.com. Or you can ftp to 
    ftp.adobe.com. These documents are also available by mail; call the 
    Developers Line and ask for the documents catalog. 

    The ps-file-server contains some specs, tech notes, sample 
    programs, plus a large collection of AFM files and PPD files. Send 
    a message containing ``help'' to ps-file-server@adobe.com for more 
    information. You can get these files for free with email.
