IBM does a pretty good job at obsfucating their urls. The document you
want if probably "AFP: Programming Guide and Line Data Reference". To find
this, follow the link on the AFP Renderer resources page at
http://afp-renderer.sourceforge.net/resources.html to the IBM Printing
System Support Manuals. Click on the "AFP Architecture" link, which takes
you to a funny search results screen. The top result is the document you
probably want.

Good luck,
Joe
