This is just a brief announcement of the Waterloo TCP system which is available
via anonymous ftp to sunee.uwaterloo.ca [129.97.128.196] in pub/wattcp.

Waterloo TCP is a new package, not a rewrite of MIT's work.  It currently
only supports Ethernet packet drivers.  If you are interested in creating
your own applications, the programming language is Turbo C 2.0 and it
resembles the BSD environment.  Sample application programs with source are:

        Program         Bytes   Comments

        FINGER.EXE      24,866
        LPR.EXE         30,990  Few features but easily expandable
        LPQ.EXE         25,104
        TCPPORT.EXE     22,986  Like TNGLAS
        PING.EXE        29,844
        TEL.EXE         40,920  Very simple

Both applications and development libraries are available for free.

There is also a developers manual which includes a tutorial, a full reference
with examples, and of course much more.  The manual has costs $40 is
recommended if you are going to be doing a project with Waterloo TCP, it
also funds my work.

NOTE: most of the library source is not available and will not be available
      for some time.  Sorry, but that is unnegociable at this exact time.

You can try the less sophisticated LPR available from the Waterloo TCP
collection.  It does not do DOS->UNIX conversion so it may answer your
needs immediately.  Full source to LPR (and the TCP library) are available 
via anonymous ftp as is the executable.   

FTP to sunee.uwaterloo.ca [129.97.128.196] and get one of the following:
pub/wattcp/apps.zip        - just the compiled executables
pub/wattcp/src.zip         - applications with source code and 
                             precompiled tcp library, needs TC 2.0 or TC++

If you are truly adventurous, you can get the complete source code to the
applications and libraries in a file denoted only by the date.  I'ld
start with either apps.zip or src.zip.

Best of luck
Erick
