- Announcing the release of Xnetlib ver. 3.3
-
- What it is -
-
- Xnetlib is a new version of netlib recently developed at the
- University of Tennessee and Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
- Unlike netlib, which uses electronic mail to process requests
- for software, xnetlib uses an X Window graphical user
- interface and a socket-based connection between the user's
- machine and the xnetlib server machine to process software
- requests. Xnetlib is available to anyone who has access to
- the TCP/IP Internet.
-
- Xnetlib provides access to files and a whois style database
- residing on the Netlib server at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
- Xnetlib also connects to two other xnetlib servers, one at
- Rice University, and the other at the Army Research Laboratory.
- Our intention is to release the xnetlib server code in a few
- months.
-
- Xnetlib requires the Athena widget set (Xaw).
-
- How to get it -
-
- By anonymous ftp from cs.utk.edu in pub/xnetlib/xnetlib3.3.tar.Z
-
- By email, send a message to netlib@netlib.ornl.gov containing the line:
- send xnetlib.shar from xnetlib
-
-
- If you have any questions, please send mail to xnetlib@cs.utk.edu
