So, here it is. A set of !TCPIP sources and the tools to create diff files
and apply them back to the source.

1. *Don't* work on the sources in TCPIP_Ref, make a working copy.
   The file "MakeWork" will do this for you.

2. If you want to send me some diffs, check with me first to make sure you
   are up to date. I've had a lot of 'fun' over the past week merging three
   differing versions to create what you see here, and I really don't want
   to keep doing it.

3. Please use the versions of GDiff, Indent and Patch supplied. They may
   not be the latest, but they appear to work for me. Especially, make
   sure Indent sees my version of indent/pro. You may want to create your
   own to mangle things to your preferred style when working but I want
   things in my style for the reference. :-)

I'm going to try running a simple manual mailing list for this. Mail me as
[e-mail] to join or leave. I'll return a diffs file to
get you up to the current state of play, then regular updates as they happen.
Every so often I'll upload an archive of patches to Demon and when there is
concensus I'll up the version number and create a new set of references.

To create a diff file for me, run 'DoDiff'. This assumes the trees TCPIP_Ref
and TCPIP_Wrk exist in the same directory, it cleans TCPIP_Wrk, applies
Indent to it (I'm not happy with this bit as it messes with the time stamps,
but it works) and runs GDiff across the tree. Mail the diff file and any new
files you have created to the address it tells you ([e-mail].
uk) and I'll do things with it.
  *PLEASE MAKE SURE EVERYTHING WORKS RELIABLY BEFORE SENDING IT TO ME*

Umm, that's it for now. I hope to make things more automagic as it goes, but
this should get things off the ground.
