- ================================
- by Ian Wade

-
- NOSview [304] is now available.
-
- NOSview, first introduced in September 1991, is an on-line
- documentation and runtime package for the KA9Q Network Operating
- System (NOS). It contains:
-
- +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-
- *** probably the only complete reference work anywhere that
- describes all of the commands to be found in the major NOS
- releases.
-
- *** a TSR file viewer that lets you read the NOSview
- documentation on-line, without breaking out of NOS.
-
- *** NOSgas: the "NOS Get-Away Special" -- a complete set of
- working NOS runtime software.
-
- *** a complete set of templates for the NOS control files.
-
- *** full details on how to get the book "NOSintro", which
- describes in detail how TCP/IP works and how to use KA9Q
- NOS. Ideal for beginners to TCP/IP (and more advanced users
- will find many gems of helpful information there as well).
-
- +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-
-
- NOSview [304] contains many new documentation files, and the

- How to get NOSview
- ------------------
- By now, NOSview should be available on the major bulletin boards
- throughout the world, and also via Internet on "ucsd.edu" in
- directory "hamradio/packet/tcpip/docs".
-
- Look for two files:
-
- NOSVIEW.ZIP (which just contains the file you are reading now)
- NOSVW304.ZIP (which contains the complete NOSview package)
-
- As NOSVW304.ZIP is quite large (around 700 KB), you may prefer
- instead to get your copy by mailing a DOS-formatted diskette (any
- size EXCEPT 360 KB) and return mailer to:
