Original-subject: ISODE 6.8(interim) available
Reposted-by: emv@ox.com (Edward Vielmetti)
ISODE interim release 6.8 is now available. The majority of the work
has been done on QUIPU, the Directory implementation for the ISODE.
When you retrieve the sources, read the file QUIPU-READ-ME for all the
details. There has also been some work on the 4BSD/ISODE SNMP software.
6.8 is more stable than 6.0 but still has some bugs in the Directory
code. These are being worked on. However, it has substantial
improvements in performance, robustness, and functionality. If you are
seriously using Directory, you should get a copy of 6.8 and try it out.
The 7.0 release is tentatively scheduled to be released prior to August 1.
Getting a copy of 6.8(interim)
6.8 is available only via the network. Physical distribution sites are
still sending out 6.0 and will continue to do so until 7.0 is released.
The name of the file containing the 6.8 source distribution is:
isode-interim.tar.Z
PostScript documentation can be found in
interim-ps.tar.Z
1. FTP
If you can FTP to the Internet, then use anonymous FTP to uu.psi.com
[136.161.128.3] to retrieve the files in BINARY mode from the isode/
directory.
2. NIFTP
If you run NIFTP over the public X.25 or over JANET, and are registered in
the NRS at Salford, you can use NIFTP with username "guest" and your own
name as password, to access UK.AC.UCL.CS to retrieve the files.
(Note that the postscript file won't show up for another day or so.)
Thank-you for your patience.
