from the office for a bit, and am just now able to catch up with all
the e-mail which requires replies.)

> 1) What is the status of Palladium?
it exists, but we're not distributing it. the first version that we
worked on doesn't perform to our satisfaction, so we're not
distributing the code along with our other network services.
palladium is a cooperative effort between project athena, digital
equipment corporation, and hewlett-packard (i believe i have the names
of these players right); when we receive the code from these parties,
we will be in a better position to talk about availability. a future
release of a later version of palladium printing system software has
not been ruled out, but we have no delivery date right now (and,
related to this, please *don't* come back with questions like "when
will you have this ready" and the like; when it's available, we'll
trumpet it to the world).

AFS is a licensed software product available from Transarc in
Pittsburgh, and is not distributed like the Andrew Toolkit and its
applications are; I believe AFS does come with authentication hooks
built in. Contact Transarc directly for more information about their
product.
