Source Distribution of the KA9Q Internet Package and Utilities
Notice:
Unless otherwise specified, all documentation, source and object
code making up the KA9Q Internet Package are Copyright (C) 1986 by
Phil Karn, KA9Q. All rights reserved. Permission is hereby granted
for free NONcommercial copying and use only.
Note to those receiving this package as an ARC file:
In order to preserve the structure of the directories used for the
sources, this code is distributed as a group of .ARC files, one per
subdirectory. DO NOT un-Arc all of the .ARC files in the same
directory as there are duplicate file names. The suggested procedure
for unpacking is to create subdirectories named: BM, DOC, EXE, SRC,
and TNC, and then un-Arc each .ARC file in the appropriate
subdirectory. Note that the SRC and BM makefiles assume that the
resulting executable file will reside in ../EXE, so these should all
be subdirectories of some main directory.
This package contains everything you need to install and run the KA9Q Internet
software for packet radio. Included are the executable programs, sample
configuration files, and all installation and user documentation. In addition,
all of the sourcecode for each of the executable programs is included, along
with a technical reference manual describing the internal operation of the
net.exe program.
This release of the KA9Q Internet code contains the following subdirectories:
exe - Contains the main executable file "net.exe" and a prototype
"autoexec.net". Copy net.exe to wherever you put local commands.
When run, net.exe reads initialization commands from the file
"autoexec.net" (if it exists) in the ROOT (not current) directory
of the current drive. Copy the sample autoexec.net provided to the
root directory and edit it to reflect your node configuration.
See the files in the doc directory (especially doc/useguide.doc)
for details.
The mail user interface 'bm.exe' by Bdale N3EUA is also in this
directory, along with sample configuration files. You will need
to read the bm.doc and smtp.doc files in order to install bm.
doc - A collection of text documentation files:
howto.doc - READ THIS BEFORE TRYING ANYTHING! This is a document
created by WB6RQN and updated by N3EUA that attempts to lead you
through a generic configuration and setup of the software.
overview.doc - an overview of the interfaces and protocols currently
supported, with a capsule summary of each along with notes on the
implementation.
useguide.doc - Practical details on using the "net.exe" program,
including full descriptions of the commands.
techref.doc - a detailed guide to the guts of the code, with emphasis
on the interfaces between TCP/UDP and the application. Intended for
those wishing to write their own application software or add subnet
interface drivers.
bm.doc - documentation on installing and using the mail user interface
program.
smtp.doc - documentation on installing and maintaining the SMTP mail
client and server.
kiss.doc - the specification of the KISS protocol for host<->tnc
communications. An implementation of this standard for the TNC2 is
included with this distribution.
bm - Sources for BM, a standalone mail command (client) by Bdale Garbee,
N3EUA. Full documentation is in doc/bm.doc. DoubleDOS is handy in
allowing you to run it without shutting down net.exe.
src - Sources for the "net.exe" program. They were written using the Aztec
C compilers for the Z-80 and the 8086. Note that pc100.c and pc100.h
are unfinished and are not yet usable. There is a makefile for the
Aztec "make" command.
tnc - Implementations of the KISS protocol for TNC1, TNC2, and VAD boards.
We hope that everything you need to know is contained in the documentation
files in this package. If you run into any snags, please communicate them
to us for correction in future releases of the software.
