The objective of this code is the improve the use and features of NOS. A lot of the work is done through cooperative discussion and testing among the subscribers of the Internet maillist 'nos-bbs hydra.carleton.ca' (to subscribe, send mail to 'nos-bbs-request hydra.carleton.ca') A lot of new stuff comes from code fragments or suggestions contributed by people on that maillist, most of wich are avid users of the code. This code is a continuously developing piece of work, and as such, it should be seen as a BETA software no matter whether it is indicated as such or not. You should not expect this to be a 'plug and play' solution to tcp/ip over packet radio. If you experience problems, feel free to contribute constructive' critisism to the author or the discussion group
