New Request for Comments are now available in the online RFC
libraries.

Note: These are PostScript RFCs.  Secondary versions are available in
ASCII.  The secondary ASCII versions may lack figures and the
information encoded in typographic variation (italics, boldface,
etc.).  Since this information often provides essential context, the
ASCII versions are at best incomplete and at worst misleading.  Anyone
expecting to understand these documents are strongly encouraged to
obtain the PostScript versions.

This RFC considers certain deficiencies of the 1988 X.500 standard,
which need to be addressed before an effective open Internet Directory
can be established using these protocols and services.  The only areas
considered are primary problems, to which solutions must be found
before a pilot can be deployed.  This RFC concerns itself with
deficiencies which can only be addressed by use of additional protocol
or procedures for distributed operation.

This memo provides information for the Internet community.  It does
not specify an Internet standard.  Distribution of this memo is
unlimited.

RFCs also be obtained via FTP from FTP.NISC.SRI.COM, NIS.NSF.NET,
