Brief history

 This page bagan in the Spring of 1995 as an AFP FAQ and informational page for the afp-l discussion list hosted by Xplor. IBM Printing Systems has since developed their own AFP site and provide a wealth of AFP related information. This page continues as the informational center for the afp-l discussion list, which is now hosted on Topica.

afp-l list mechanics

    To send a message to the discussion list, send an E-mail. Try to make the subject line as descriptive as possible.

  • Message ARCHIVE: All messages posted to the Topica site are stored in an on-line archive. The archive is web-based. The afp-l archive is designated as a 'public' archive. You do not need to be a member of the list in order to read it.

    The message archive supports a search capability as well as sorting the archive by author, thread, and date.
