        !             3:                                APSEND
        !             4: 
        !             5: Apsend is a command that send device-independent troff output from the
        !             6: user's 'home' UNIX system to the dedicated UNIX driving the APS-5
        !             7: phototypesetter.
        !             8: 
        !             9: Take the following steps to prepare apsend for your system.
        !            10: 
        !            11: 1) Compile the file apsend.mkhd.c (which uses the file apsend.h).
        !            12: 
        !            13: 2) Move the a.out file to apsend.mkhd.
        !            14: 
        !            15: 3) Check the following shell variables in the apsend command and change if
        !            16: necessary: NODE, MKHEAD, FNTABLES, NETWORK.
        !            17: 
        !            18:        NODE - use '`uname -n`' or the actual system nodename
        !            19: 
        !            20:        MKHEAD - use 'apsend.mkhd' (if apsend and apsend.mkhd will reside in
        !            21:           the same directory); otherwise use full pathname of apsend.mkhd

        !            29:                use 'uucp1' for those systems selecting uucp network - AND uucp
        !            30:                BY DEFAULT copies source files to the spool directory. (Note:
        !            31:                'uucp -C' is usually illegal on these systems.)
        !            32:

        !            34:                does NOT by default copy source files to the spool directory
        !            35:                (invokes '-C' option of uucp)

        !            43: 
        !            44: 4) Be sure to leave a blank line as the first line of the apsend shell script.

        !            54: (both APS-5 and imagen) to the dedicated UNIX driving both devices.  The
        !            55: UNIX acknowledges the status requests via UNIX mail, prepending a brief
        !            56: bulletin indicating unusual turnaround conditions, if such exist. The reply
