The Spool Directory Layout
==========================

   In general, the layout of the spool directory may be safely ignored.
However, it is documented here for the curious.  This description only
covers the `SPOOLDIR_TAYLOR' layout.  The ways in which the other spool
directory layouts differ are described in the source file
`unix/spool.c'.

   Directories and files are only created when they are needed, so a
typical system will not have all of the entries described here.
