I have just subscribed to this newsgroup and noticed some references to CAP. Coincidently, I was told to look into finding this package and/or information about it. All I was given to do this was a 5 page description of CAP which apparently is (exactly) one year old. (Patch 7 date is Aug 25, 1987.) At my site we do have a Kinetics Fastpath box, but I'm not sure about SUMEX software (mentioned in description). Is the SUMEX software (still) needed, and where can I get it? The description gives a reference to a computer with anonymous ftp at Columbia, "cu20b.columbia.edu," but the notes about the computer no longer apply - the directories mentioned are not on that computer as far as I can tell. Also, in a notes section, the description says "Documentation - in very short supply." Has this changed? I would appreciate any information on how I could acquire the CAP software and install it for Macintosh computers (Pluses, SE's and II's) on both Appletalk and Ethernet using a Sun 3 as an Appleshare file server. I realize a recent topic on the net is the connection of Macs on Ethernet, but I haven't been able to follow it because I joined in the middle of it. Any performance comments would also be appreciated by Sun and Mac users. Ed Lewis (elewis@olympos.cs.ume.edu brillig.umd.edu silmaril.gsfc.nasa.gov palantir.gsfc.nasa.gov -- any will/should work)
