- Burn this copy! It is something like four years old and has absolutely
- no value except to those who are interested in some of the history of
- how protocol turns happen (or don't happen, if you're cynical }:-). A
- later "Version 3 spec" (the Postscript protocol) is even more fun from
- that viewpoint.
-
- The version 2 protocol is the only one people have implemented, and the
- only one worth seriously considering. Looking at this will only get you
- confused, seriously, because it has so many bad ideas.
