This is TIPX.TAR-Z on wsmr-simtel20.army.mil in the directory PD2:. It's a set of mods to the tip2 sources on uunet.uu.net in the communications directory. I just tried to make this, but it fails because tip2 includes slip support and the relevant things aren't defined. As far as I can see, the slip stuff is independent of the basic tip + file transfer functionality: can anyone produce a version of these sources that will compile on slip-less machines like the NeXT? Not being any kind of C programmer, I'm afraid I can't. Steve Anderson
