To: outnews#ext.nn.net.sources@andrew.cmu.edu CC: murthy@dopey.cs.cornell.edu (Chet Murthy) In-Reply-To: <1228@svax.cs.cornell.edu> The TCP/IP package for PC's better known as PCIP was developed at MIT using a cross compiler on a UNIX VAX. In order to make developement using this package easier, it has been "ported" to the Microsoft C compiler and Microsoft Macro assembler. You must have version 3.0 or higher of both the compiler and the assembler. Also you must have the Microsoft Make program, Librarian and linker that are distributed with the compiler and assembler. To get the CMU Microsoft C version of the PCIP package from the arpanet, connect to host "te.cc.cmu.edu" with FTP (no quotes when you really type it). This machine is a TOPS20 system. Login in as user "anonymous", password "guest". Next, use the "cd" command to change your working directory to "pk:". Now if you do a "dir" command you will get a listing of all the necessary files. First, "get" the files "readme" and "install.bat" in netascii mode. The rest of the files must be retrieved in binary/octet mode. On a UNIX system use the command "tenex" to tell TOPS20 to use a local byte size of 8 bits. Now retrieve the files "tarread.exe", "root.tar", "include.tar", "srcdev.tar", "srclib.tar" and "srccmd.tar". The file "doc.tar" is also available if you want the scribe documentation. Alternatively, you can now retrieve the files via anonymous FTP from host "lancaster.andrew.cmu.edu". This host is not yet in the NIC tables, but should be resolvable via the domain name system. It's IP address is "128.2.13.21". This machine is a 4.2 bsd UNIX system. After you log in, use the "cd" command to change your working directory to "pub". You will have to retrieve the same set of files as above. Once you have these on your local machine, use TFTP or some other file transfer program to get them to your PC. Put the files under a subdirectory such as c:\pcip. Make sure you do the transfers in the proper mode (octet or ascii, as above). The file "readme" explains what you have, and how to proceed farther. The program tarread.exe is a very small tar file reading program that I wrote. It has very few features, but it serves the purpose here.
