The server is available from iuvax.cs.indiana.edu [129.79.254.192] as pub/webster/NeXT-websterd.shar.Z There are two divergent versions of the UNIX client: webster-client.shar on iuvax offers access to more server features. pub/webster.tar.Z on wolvesden.stanford.edu [36.8.0.179] is "better code" and will work on System V-derived machines (with sockets, not TLI) as well as BSD-derived systems. It also includes an emacs client. (Someone should look into reconciling these...) Please note that RFC 1060 "blesses" port 765 for webster, which should be used instead of the 103 or 2627 in the above versions. BTW, since I'm still waiting for NeXT to ship us 2.0, I would be interested in hearing if my icrwebster (which displays the TIFF illustrations on Mac IIs with NCSA Telnet) still works. -=EPS=- -- Digital Webster doesn't know the meaning of the word "backorder."
