It can't be all that big. No No No No No! The package *IS* big, though much, much smaller than the PC/IP source distribution. Much easier for those who care to get it from louie, via uucp, or from my bbs. Why make the whole world pay distribution charges for something so few have an immediate need for? The code on louie was just updated by Phil to rev 870526.5, which contains quite a few internal changes from the .0 release. I'm working on integrating his changes with stuff from a *lot* of other folks to issue another major release. I'd really hate to waste net bandwidth with code that's about to be obsolete, since I assume most folks have 870526.0... If we ever get a release that we're happy with, maybe a post to one of the sources groups would be appropriate. With the rate things are changing right now, I don't think so. The big news for this group is that the new release in a week or two will have support for running as a single process under bsd or sysV. Assume that with a serial port driver for Minix (I don't have one? Did the post not get here?), that it will be trivial to bring it up there too as a single process. Not wonderful, but a start! >The compressed tar file on our machine is 1/2 meg. The uncompressed tar >file is almost 1 meg. That is a LOT of stuff to be mailing around. Do >we really want that?
