-*- text -*- WHAT IS THIS? This is version 0.6 of tcputils, a collection of programs to facilitate TCP programming in shell-scripts. There is also a small library which makes it somewhat easier to create TCP/IP sockets. The latest released version can be found by anonymous FTP to ftp.lysator.liu.se:pub/unix/tcputils/ (or at URL:ftp://ftp.lysator.liu.se/pub/unix/tcputils/ if you like that syntax better). I myself can be reached by email to bellman@lysator.liu.se. The programs included in this release are: mini-inetd - small TCP/IP connection dispatcher tcpbug - TCP/IP connection bugging device tcpconnect - general TCP/IP client tcplisten - general TCP/IP server getpeername - get name of connected TCP/IP peer BUILDING AND INSTALLING Read the file INSTALL for instructions. COPYRIGHT These programs are released into the public domain. You may do anything you like with them, including modifying them and selling the binaries without source for ridiculous amounts of money without saying who made them originally. However, I would be happy if you release your works with complete source for free use. WARRANTY You're kidding? You use it, you take the responsibility. Local variables: fill-column: 65 End:
