- You can ftp the latest version (1.04) from uxc.cso.uiuc.edu in /pub. It
- knows about NeXTs and it knows to check for many security holes that
- have been fixed via CERT advisories. Get and install perl
- (available in that same directory) and use the perl version that
- comes in the same cops distribution, it is faster.
-
- Also, crack is in that same directory and is quite useful if you run
- a machine which lots of people use. Compiles just fine on NeXT.
