-
- The files in this directory can be grouped into 4 rough groups as
- follows
-
-
- I) Administrative Files
-
- readme.1st Information on PCroute/PCbridge and its
- future.
- readme.dir This file
- copywrit.doc The copywrite for the PCroute/PCbridge
- software.
-
-
- II) Archive files
-
- The Distribution is in the format of a compressed tar
- archive. The standard UNIX tar and uncompress utilities
- can be used to extract the files. For those that do not
- have access to a UNIX machine with these utilities, the
- following files are IBM PC utilities that can do the
- extraction.
-
-
- tar.exe A PC tar archive/dearchive utility
- uncomp.exe A PC compress/uncompress utility
- compress.doc Documentation for uncomp.exe
-
-
- To extract an archive called STUFF.Z simply type.
-
- uncomp STUFF
- tar xvf STUFF
- del STUFF
-
- Note that you will have to rename the archives to some
- shorter name on your PC. This name should end in .Z
- for uncomp to work as shown above.
-
-

-
-
- III) PCbridge files
-
- readme.pcbridge.doc General information on PCbridge
- pcbridge*.tar.Z Files matching this spec are a PCbridge
- archive. The file name also contains
- numbers representing the version
- and (optionally) the revision of

- highest version and highest revision
- to get the most up-to-date code.
-
- Note that source is not available directly from this
- directory, however, you can get the source if you need
- it. See the 'readme.1st' for details.

- In addition to the above files, there are also two subdirectories
- in
- the pcroute archive directory. They are:
-
-
- exp Contains experimental code. This includes beta
- test versions as well who knows what. Things that
- are beta test versions are usually pretty solid,
- anything else, though is probably not worth getting
- unless you are working we me on something.
-

- that runs with the packet driver. This tool allows
- you to see the packets going by on your network.
