- InfoMagic Internet Tools CD-ROM
- April 1995
-
- This disc contains a collection of packages and utilities for managing
- and operating hosts on the internet using both TCP/IP and OSI/ISO
- protocols. The directory layout is shown in the files index.unx (for
- UNIX(tm)) and index.dos (for MS-DOS(r)).
-
- The disc is mastered with Rock Ridge extensions and all files have
- been left with their long mixed case filenames. For systems that do
- not support the Rock Ridge extensions a translation table is provided
- in each directory (YMTRANS.TBL) which shows the original filename and
- the ISO-9660 alias. Files in the dos_win directory tree all have
- ISO-9660 compliant names so DOS users will be able to access them more
- easily. The one exception is the source for gzip which has its full
- UNIX(tm) name (gzip-1.2.4.tar.gz).
-
- The files "ls_lr.*" are an exhaustive listing of every file on the CD
- and are provided in both unix(tm) format (lines end with LF) and
- MS-DOS(r) format (lines end with CRLF). The Unix(tm) format file is
- ls_lr.unx and the MS-DOS(r) format file is ls_lr.dos.
-
- We have provided a directory under "dos_win" called "onthenet" that
- contains a subset of the Microsoft Windows(tm) applications
- sufficient to establish a SLIP or PPP connection to an Internet
- Provider and perform all the usual Internet tasks (mail, news, ftp,
- and WWW browsing). Each of these packages is supplied as a "zip"
- file (pkunzip is in "dos_win\tools") and each contains both the
- executable and intallation and configuration notes. Several of these
- are Shareware as are many of the applications in the "dos_win\winsock\apps"
- directory and the following terms apply:
-
- The term Shareware describes a marketing method in which copyrighted
- programs circulate freely among users for the purpose of evaluation.
- This gives you the option to "Try Before You Buy". The author of a
- Shareware program typically allows you to try the program for up to
- 30 days before payment is required. The exact terms of evaluation
- vary from author to author, so be sure to check the documentation of
- the programs you evaluate.
-
- The fee you pay to InfoMagic, Inc. is a distribution fee and does not
- cover the cost of the program itself. Programs which are used beyond
- the author's prescribed evaluation period require a separate payment
- to the author. By making payment to the author you obtain a lefal
- right to use the software, and encourage the continued development of
- quality software within the Shareware channel.
-
- The process of paying for Shareware is termed "registration". The
- exact benefits of registration vary from author to author, but many
- authors will offer one or more of the following: a current version,
- technical support, a printed manual, free of discounted upgrades,
- bonus utilities or special offers. Consult the registration
- information included with each program for specific details.
-
-
- Some of the packages on this CD are covered by the General Public
- License, a copy of which is in the file COPYING in the root directory.
