READ ME.TXT -- ISO/IEC 10175 (DPA)
11 July 1996

The files in this directory represent the final state of 
ISO/IEC 10175 (DPA) parts 1 and 2, as delivered to the 
ISO Central Secretariat for publication as an International 
Standard. This version incorporates editorial revisions 
requested by the Central Secretariat, but also includes 
line numbers which will not appear in the published ISO version.

This version of the Standard differs from the May 1995 and 
March 1996 versions primarily in editorial details.  A few substantive 
changes are noted in the change histories at the beginning 
of Annexes A and C; also, Figure 9-1 has been revised slightly. 
If anyone needs to see the actual changes, please refer to the 
revision-marked version stored in the Subdirectory REV-MARK.

The documents are available in four zip files that contain various 
representations of the Final Text.  The four zip files are:

   dpa-doc.zip  - the MS-WORD sources for this version of the Final Text

   dpa-docr.zip  - the MS-WORD sources with revision marks showing the
                 changes made to the Final Text version of March 1996

   dpa-ps.zip   - the PostScript(tm) (with revision marks removed) in four
                  files for Part 1 and a second file for Part 2

   dpa-asn.zip  - the ASN.1 sources for the DPA protocol

Each zip file contains a more detailed readme file : read-doc.txt, read-docr.txt, 
read-ps.txt, and read-asn.txt, respectively; these explain the contents of the 
zip files in more detail. 

Any questions or comments should be forwarded to the mail distribution list:

   dpa@woden.eng.sun.com

and members of the committee will respond.
