This is just a brief announcement of the Waterloo TCP system which is available
via anonymous ftp to sunee.uwaterloo.ca [129.97.128.196] in pub/wattcp.

Waterloo TCP is a new package, not a rewrite of MIT's work.  It currently
only supports Ethernet packet drivers.  If you are interested in creating
your own applications, the programming language is Turbo C 2.0 and it
resembles the BSD environment.  Sample application programs with source are:

        Program         Bytes   Comments

        FINGER.EXE      24,866
        LPR.EXE         30,990  Few features but easily expandable
        LPQ.EXE         25,104
        TCPPORT.EXE     22,986  Like TNGLAS
        PING.EXE        29,844
        TEL.EXE         40,920  Very simple

Both applications and development libraries are available for free.

There is also a developers manual which includes a tutorial, a full reference
with examples, and of course much more.  The manual has costs $40 is
recommended if you are going to be doing a project with Waterloo TCP, it
also funds my work.

NOTE: most of the library source is not available and will not be available
      for some time.  Sorry, but that is unnegociable at this exact time.
