New Requests for Comments are now available from the Network Information
Center in the <RFC> directory at SRI-NIC.

RFC 886:

   Title:   Proposed Standard for Message Munging 
   Author:  M. Rose
   Pages :  16

      pathname: <RFC>RFC886.TXT

   This RFC specifies a draft standard for the ARPA Internet community. 
   It describes the rules to be used when transforming mail from the 
   conventions one message system to those of another message system.  
   In particular, the treatment of header fields, and recipient 
   addresses is specified.

RFC 887:

   Title:   Resource Location Protocol 
   Author:  M. Accetta
   Pages :  16

      pathname: <RFC>RFC887.TXT

   This RFC specifies a draft standard for the ARPA Internet community. 
   It describes a resource location protocol for use in the ARPA 
   Internet.  It is most useful on networks employing technologies which
   support some method of broadcast addressing, however it may also be 
   used on other types of networks.  For maximum benefit, all hosts 
   which provide significant resources or services to other hosts on the
   Internet should implement this protocol.  Hosts failing to implement 
   the Resource Location Protocol risk being ignored by other hosts 
   which are attempting to locate resources on the Internet.

These public access files may be copied from the <RFC> directory at 
SRI-NIC via FTP with username ANONYMOUS and password GUEST.

Submissions for Requests for Comments should be sent to POSTEL at USC-ISIF.

Requests to be added to or deleted from this distribution list should be
sent to NIC at SRI-NIC.
