TCP/IP source for XINU should be out from Prentice-Hall this month in Doug Comer's book, "Internetworking with TCP/IP, Vol. II" so it might be good to drag your feet on writing code. XINU is close enough to Unix in design philosophy that the port should be fairly easy. Sure would be nice to have a TCP/IP implementation which was common to both Coherent and Minix. -- Reginald H.

All Xinu sources, including my TCP/IP code, are copyrighted by Prentice-Hall. Distribution or sale without permission is illegal. Anyone seriously wanting to use this code in a distribution or (in other words) wanting to port it to other systems for other than personal use should contact me or Dr. Comer. In similar cases, our "party line" is that you can have permission to use the code as long as you distribute it free. In other words, MINIX or Coherent with the TCP/IP code should cost the same as MINIX or Coherent without it. Of course, you don't need permission to do the port(s) yourself; only to distribute it. So in all cases, you're free to experiment with it on your own (that's really what it's for). Just realize that Xinu is not public domain. -- +-DLS (dls@mentor.cc.purdue.edu)
