- Unfortunately I don't have easy access to Internet FTP so I couldn't
- follow up on this :-(.

- Offhand it looks like it should work, emphasis on the `should'. It
- doesn't look like the client program is doing anything very exotic. I
- was hoping to get it to run under at least Multinet and CMU-TEK, which
- are the packages in use here; CMU-TEK doesn't come with any socket
- library emulation. I was planning to try to put support in it for
- NETLIB, which would make it run pretty easily under just about any
- VMS TCP/IP package.

- Again, offhand it looks like that `should' work.
-
- This is rather farther along than I got, I couldn't get enough of it
- to compile to make it interesting to play around much with the network
- portion of it. I looked at the network code enough to see that it
- didn't look like it would be a horrible job to redo it, but that was
- about it.
-
- BTW, anyone know of any way to get the whole set of sources (including
- the server) if you don't have access to the Internet (just usenet)?
- We were figuring that we could dig up a server somehow or other for one
- or another of the Unix boxes that we have around here, but it would be
- nice to get the sources so we could put it on whatever box we wanted to
- without having to locate somebody else's binaries.
