✦ Synopsis

BRST invariance is used to second-quantize the interacting relativistic string. The zero-mode of the anticommuting string variables is identified as the Grassmann coordinate of BRST superfields. The massless sector is Yang-Mills theory in the usual Faddeev-Popov formalism. This is the correct version of the article which appeared in Phys. Lett. 149B (1984) 157. In the previously published version the ghost fields 0 and O were inadvertently all typeset as 0.
