o What is LRSQ?

o What is DRS?

o On what platform does each run?

o Explain "sends" (XMIT?  FTP?  SMTP?  NFS?  Gopher?  WAIS?  Other (specify)? )

o On what platform did you run your XMIT test?  Did the input data to XMIT
  contain the x'40'?

o Explain "spools"?

o What platform does your PDF viewer run on?

o Etc.
