It may be worth bearing in mind that by using PKTMUX you can run
winsock-based software _alongside_ NCSA TELNET (or many other
packages that want a packet-driver-based software interface).

Hint: if you want to field incoming FTP calls, just make sure that
PKTMUX knows where to send 'em.  E.g if you started your winsock
first, and you want the NCSA TELNET's FTP responder to field any
incoming FTP call, PKTMUX won't know what to do unless you tell it.
Refer to the "lf" option of PKTDRV, see 5.2 in the PKTMUX doc.

PKTMUX is widely available from anon.ftp archives.  A word of
thanks to Graham its author.  The only times I startup DOS without
it, are when I need to run network diagnostic tools.

Subject: View.exe command-line opts?

Is there a command-line option for the view.exe program that comes bundled in
Peter Tattam's Trumpet Winsock that allows one to choose a different font,
other than the one that comes up by default when viewing a file? I'd like the
font to be mono-spaced rather than proportional.

Thanks,

I am currently working on a MUD client. It will basically be a tintin
like client in a nice windows interface for MUDs other than mine. For
use with my MUD (sneezyMUD), I am developing a client-server protocal
to do many things MUD related with the server, such as a drag and drop
screen for equipment/inventory, list boxes for shops....those type
things. Hopefully I will document the protocal good enough when I release
the application that a skilled coder can implement the server code on
their MUD.

For now, I am working on getting a usable client out, that will basically
do what tintin does, but in the windows/winsock interfaces. The client
currently talks to my MUD, and works fine. Hopefully I will have a alpha
release out sometime later this month.

Any questions or anyone who is interested in being a tester of this app,
feel free to drop me an email.

Did you know that these opinions are mine, and not Control Data Systems?
Well, they are.

You have to set where your files are in the mxwin.ini config
file in the windows directory.  It should look like:

[MicroX]
SaveUnder=yes
directory=c:\XWIN\lib
panning=0
debug=0
single=1
width=1272
height=988
screen1enable=1
network=winsock

[font]
fontpath=C:\XWIN\LIB\FONTS\MISC,C:\XWIN\LIB\FONTS\75DPI,C:\XWIN\LIB\FONTS\100DPI

[sessions]
sun=1:sun:demo::/usr/openwin/bin/xterm -ls -n sun/demo -display xpc:0 &
XDMCP -broadcast=4
XDMCP - query=4:192.1.1.1

If you have xwin in any other directory, change directory and fontpath.
Changing mxwin.ini in the xwin directory will have NO effect (ie. don't change
the wrong one).  Add in your machine as a XHost and set display and your done.

Have fun,

Subject: Botched file in wslpd-11.exe - fixed now

Hi,

Unfortunately, due to vast stupidity (or a little carelessness, take your
pick) I had a bad version of "spooler.exe" in the archive.  It is fixed now
and the updated file is on sunsite.unc.edu is
pub/micro/pc-stuff/ms-windows/winsock/apps/wslpd-11.exe.  Thanks again to
Paul Jones and Jonathan Magid for updating this file for me.

The old wslpd-11.exe is 84,837 bytes; the new is 65,919 bytes.  If you
still have wslpd.exe version 1.0 on your system, you can just use the
"spooler.exe" from that version, rather than downloading the whole thing
again.

Also, note that the name of the executable "nlpd.exe" has changed to
"wslpd.exe".  Judging from a recent discussion on alt.winsock this may not
be popular with some folks.  However, the program does not look at it's own
name, so feel free to rename it as you wish on your own system.

Best regards,
Dave
