        !             5: .SH DESCRIPTION
        !             6: .I FilingSubset1d
        !             7: is a service for the XNS Courier FilingSubset protocol version 1.
        !             8: The implementation adheres to the guidelines for implementations 
        !             9: documented in the FilingSubset Implementor's Guide.
        !            10: .PP
        !            11: The service is forked from the XNS courier daemon,
        !            12: .IR xnscourierd , 
        !            13: upon connection requests for version 1 of the FilingSubset Protocol.
        !            14: .SH "PROCEDURE SUPPORT"
        !            15: The Filing Protocol defined procedures

        !            25: .I Retrieve
        !            26: are supported. The extent of support is
        !            27: consistent with the implementation of the FilingSubset Protocol as
        !            28: described in the FilingSubset Implementor's Guide.
        !            29: .SH "ATTRIBUTE SUPPORT"
        !            30: Attribute support within the service is also consistent with the FilingSubset
        !            31: Protocol. All attributes defined as mandatory in the FilingSubset Protocol
        !            32: are supported (\fIcreatedOn\fR,

        !            39: .I FilingSubset1d
        !            40: supports several file types. The FilingSubset defined types, 
        !            41: .IR tDirectory , 
        !            42: .I tText

        !            44: .I tUnspecified
        !            45: are allowed as well as the additional Viewpoint types, 
        !            46: Interpress and VPCanvas (RES). The latter two are supported only for 
        !            47: interoperability and are treated the same as 
        !            48: .I tUnspecified
        !            49: files during file transfer. 
        !            50: Since the service does not maintain the file types explicitly within the Unix

        !            52: .I FilingSubset1d
        !            53: will make an educated guess of the file type based on the contents of the
        !            54: file, when a client requests the type of a file.
        !            55: .SH "FILE TRANSFERS"
        !            56: .I FilingSubset1d
        !            57: currently makes a distinction between  
        !            58: .I tText 
        !            59: and other file types for use during file transfer. Files of type

        !            62: undergo a translation of contents for compatibility with existing Filing
        !            63: implementations; Unix EOL characters
        !            64: (\\n) are translated to and from Xerox EOL characters (\\r), Xerox left
        !            65: arrow characters are translated to underscore, etc.
        !            66: All other files are treated as a binary stream with no translation incurred.
        !            67: .SH AUTHENTICATION
        !            68: The Filing Protocol allows clients to specify both primary and secondary
        !            69: credentials.
        !            70: .I FilingSubset1d
        !            71: allows specific combinations of these credentials and accompanying verifier
        !            72: and performs the authentication based on the type supplied. Clients may
        !            73: specify 
        !            74: .IR simple ,
        !            75: .I strong
        !            76: or
        !            77: .I nullCredentials
        !            78: as the primary credentials. If
        !            79: .I simple 
        !            80: credentials are supplied, the credentials and verifier will be validated with
        !            81: a network Authentication service. 
        !            82: .I nullCredentials
        !            83: and 
        !            84: .I strong
        !            85: credentials will effectively be allowed with no network authentication.
        !            86: .PP
        !            87: Regardless of the type of primary credentials, clients are required to
        !            88: supply a set of 
        !            89: .I simple
        !            90: secondary credentials consisting of the types
        !            91: .I userName
        !            92: and
        !            93: .IR userPassword .
        !            94: These will contain the user's Unix user name and password and are used by
        !            95: .I Filing6d
        !            96: to validate the user on the host system. Failure to supply these will result
        !            97: in an Authentication error being returned to the client.

        !           117: Like all other server implementations in the Unix/XNS environment
