SU-Mac/IP 4.0 now available --------------------------- Stanford University Networking Systems announces the release of Version 4.0 of our communication software package for Apple Macintosh computers, SU-Mac/IP. Four programs are distributed with this new version: o Mac/IP, providing VT100 terminal emulation (Telnet), file transfers (FTP), and information on computers and people (Whois and Finger). Version 4.0 enhancements include online help with each menu item and button, a separate preferences file for each user, choice of screen size and font size, unlimited session profiles, and many other improvements. o tn3270, an IBM 3270 terminal emulation package from Brown University. (New with 4.0.) o Mac/MH, a Macintosh mail handler. Improvements include the addition of BinHex and UnBinHex to the File menu, and a separate configuration for each user. o SU-lpr, a facility for sending text files for printing to UNIX lpd servers, incorporated as a desk accessory. (New with 4.0.) Three utilities are also included in SU-Mac/IP 4.0: o ClipPrint, a desk accessory for printing text and pictures that have been copied onto the Clipboard. (New with 4.0.) o MockWrite and MockPrinter, desk accessories for creating, editing, and printing Macintosh text files. o fingerpop.tar, a UNIX tar file for administrators outside Stanford to add to the MH 6.6 package so that Finger will return information on POP server users. Version 4.0 uses Apple Computer's TCP/IP driver for the Macintosh, MacTCP, providing several additional enhancements for users and administrators. MacTCP allows multiple IP-based applications to run simultaneously, and supports various local network media. MacTCP version 1.01 is included with the SU-Mac/IP distribution. The SU-Mac/IP package contains two software disks, and paper copies of the "User's Manual," the "Administrator's Manual," the "Quick Reference Guide," and the "tn3270 Reference Guide." The package is licensed ONLY to degree-granting institutions of higher education, for a charge of $150. Additional copies of the manuals are available for $2 each. The license permits unlimited copying of all software and manuals within the licensing institution. Licensees of previous versions of SU-Mac/IP must request the new version, and pay the license fee (sorry).
