New note

[Paul Barker <[e-mail]>]

A new note is available from the osi-ds archive.  I regret that the text
verson is a slightly poorer version, lacking some diagrams.  I will fix this
shortly.  I hope to go to Columbus to discuss this at the OSI-DS WG.

          Implementing archive retrieval using X.500
          Paul Barker
          March 1993
          Abstract:
This memo discusses a method of realising an archie-like service based
on X.500.  It describes a way of resolving the conflict between the
distribution of information, which is conducive to management, and the
adverse impact on search performance which stems from the distribution
of the data.  A schema is proposed for representing FTP archive
information and documents within the X.500 Directory.
