Many of you in Xerox are aware of a newly created Arpanet distribution list
named Apollo. It was established to promote discussion of personal workstation
computers. As you might expect, much of the recent discussion has involved the
Xerox 8010 Star information system. Because many of the messages ask for
information about this product and its associated development software, you may
feel tempted to reply to some of them.

It is ARPA policy that the Arpanet be used only for government supported
research and development. It is against Xerox policy to use the Arpanet to discuss
products. It is completely inappropriate to use the Arpanet in a way that may be
construed as selling or promoting a Xerox product (or future product). Xerox
employees use the Arpanet for ARPA related research purposes only, not for
answering questions or distributing information about our products.

Questions from potential customers about the Xerox 8010 and other OPD products
should be referred to Arnold Palmer, Field Sales Manager, Xerox Corporation,
1341 West Mockingbird Lane, Dallas, Texas 75247, phone (214) 689-6689.
