[comp.sys.next] NeXT OS source availability?

ronf@kalamazoo.Stanford.EDU (Ron Frederick) (04/27/91)

Well, I finally did it. I broke down and ordered myself a NeXTstation Color
system. In reading one of the promotional flyers, I saw some mention that NeXT
was offering sources to their GNU applications, the Mach kernel, and a few
other things for the cost of the media. Has anyone contacted them and obtained
the sources this way? Exactly how much space did they take up, and how complete
were they?

In particular, I'm interested in trying to write my own implementation of SLIP
for the NeXT, and possibly make some other IP-related changes (like adding
support for IP multicast). Any info would be appreciated...
