A new release of the network file access package of IBIS (1.4) is now available. IBIS is a distributed file system developed at Purdue University. It provides for file access transparency, allowing remote files to be accessed (and executed, if executable) with the same interface as local files. It is implemented above kernel, and is easy to be installed on different types of machines. The new release of IBIS (1.4) is running under UNIX 4.2BSD, with or without Sun NFS. It works for heterogeneous hardware. The release includes the machine-dependent codes for Vax and Sun workstations. It is easy to port it to other types of hardware. With minor changes it also works under UNIX 4.3BSD. Retrieving IBIS =============== Normally you should retrieve IBIS through the network. The best way is to use FTP. You can ftp to Purdue (10.0.0.37, 128.10.0.1), using ftp as your login name, and your own login name as the password. Be sure to make your transfer in 8-bit image mode. If you use UUCP, put the following line in your L.sys file: purdue Any0000-0800 ACU 1200 1-317-494-6800 "" ^M CLASS ARTHUR GO ^M in-BREAK-in uucp word Arthur.UUCP There are a file named ibis.instruct and an archive file ibis.tar in both ~ftp/pub and ~uucp.
