Subj:	ISEND for VMS posted to vmsnet.sources


I have posted the ISEND.SHARE file to vmsnet.sources
Here is the AAAREADME.TXT file information:

COPYRIGHT NOTICE:

ISEND is the implementation for Unix and VMS systems of RFC-1159 and RFC-1312.
It will compile on most Unix systems and on VMS systems that use MultiNet.
  The headers of ISEND.C and ISENDD.C describe how to compile, link and run
them.

 Note for AIX: The compilation variable "unix" is not defined on these systems
as it is on other Unix systems. You have to enter
#define unix
at each source file, and then you'll have hard work to make it compiling...

  Note for Ultrix: Remove the line that include <fcntl.h>

  Note for Wollogong:  Modified 11-Aug-1992, 
                       by Jim Gerland, 
                          University at Buffalo, 
                          - to run under WINTCP 5.2
                          - created makefile.
                          - modified compile.com to use isend.opt file
                          - created start-isend-server.com

  Note for UCX: I haven't checked it on these systems. However, you should 
modify the include files and link with the appropriate library.

  Note for MultiNet: If you are using Multinet 2.2 (and not 3.0) then
rename ISENDD.C_V22 to ISENDD.C before compiling.

RUNNING the background process: The program ISEND should be run at the
background. On VMS it should be run like:

$ RUN/DETACH/INPUT=NL:/OUTPUT=NL:/ERROR=NL:/PROCESS_NAME="ISEND_task" -
  /PRIV=(NOALL,TMPMBX,NETMBX,OPER) -
  UTIL$:ISENDD

OPER is needed in order to broadcast messages.

On Unix it should be run like:

% isendd

and it will fork by itself.

  Bugs should be reported to YEHAVI@VMS.HUJI.AC.IL


RFC-1312 compatibility: The program was originaly written according to RFC-1159.
The server was then upgraded to support RFC-1312 as well (ignoring the new
fields). The client is left with the old version in order to communicate
with older implementations of ISENDD.
