This posting is to officially announce the ISIS V2.1 general distribution. This latest release of the system runs solidly and has been extensively tested, both with the new BYPASS mode enabled and disabled. Machines supported include: AIX, APOLLO, AUX, IBM PC-RT/BSD, DEC2100, DEC3100, DEC5000 (use 3100 makefile), MIPS, GOULD, HP Spectrum/800 series, HP 300 series, MACH, MIPS, NEXT (slight differences from Mach), SGI, SUN3, SUN SPARFC, VAX under ULTRIX, BSD. The system is subject to copyright but no export or use restrictions. There is no user agreement and source is available. The system is being distributed from the following sources: cu-arpa.cs.cornell.edu (pub/ISISV21.TAR.Z, pub/ISISV21-DOC.TAR.Z) uunet.uu.net (networking/ISISV21...) mcsun.eu.net (same) SUN public archives Mach distribution tape from Mt. Xinu We did not have time to get the Convex port into the distribution but will distribute it as a patch soon. Same for Cray UNICOS and probably IBM AIX-370. Someone is doing a VMS port and may publish it as a patch to the system too; IDS is also doing one, but for its commercial release of the system. The new authentication service will also be out soon, as a patch to V2.1. We have no current plans to do a V2.2 distribution.
