- 11/22/91 Readme.dos -- Readme file for CUTCP DOS version of Archie.
-
- --
- This version requires the use of a `standard' NCSA or CUTCP compatible
- CONFIG.TEL file. If you are running NCSA telnet or CUTCP/CUTE telnet,
- you should be able to run this program without modification.
-
- As with all CUTCP programs, you may set a DOS environment variable to
- point to the location of your config.tel file.
-
- set CONFIGTEL=C:\net\config.tel
-
- You may also set the $CUTCPnn dos environment variables to include other
- 'local' information (such as client IP address on a Novell lan).
-
- This version has been compiled with the US (archie.sura.net) Prospero/Archie
- server as the default. This may not be appropriate for your location. Here's
- how to change it.
-
-
- 1. Run the archie program with the -L argument to list known
- archie/prospero servers.
-
- 2. Select the server name that is closest to your site. For this example
- we'll pick archie.funet.fi
-
- 3. Edit your config.tel file and add the following lines at the end
- of the file.
-
- name=archie
- host=archie.funet.fi # actually substitute your selected
- # server name here
-
- 4. If you happen to know the IP address of the server, you may also
- add the appropriate
-
- hostip=<insert IP address here>
-
- 5. If you don't enter an IP address, archie will perform a DNS lookup
- use the domain nameserver information that is in your config.tel
- file.
-
- 6. If you know of an archie server that you'ld like to make your
- default, but it isn't in the -L list, go ahead and put it in your
- config.tel file anyway.
-
- An additional command line option (-H) has been added (vs -h) to allow the
- user to specify the config.tel file location on the command line.
-
- archie -H c:\net\config.tel emacs
-
- During a search, you may press the <ESCAPE> key to abort the query.
-
-
-
- If you have problems, try running archie with the -D9 option (debug).

- Sample Config.tel file
- ------------------------------
- # Example host file for ARCHIE/ CUTCP version
- # 11/21/91
- #
- # Bugs to cutcp-bugs@omnigate.clarkson.edu
-
- #---------------------------------------------------------------------------#
- # #
- #** ATTENTION ATTENTION ATTENTION ATTENTION ATTENTION ATTENTION ATTENTION **#
- # #
- # This sample config.tel file contains every single option that you could #
- # possibly use. Its meant as an example only. Please Please PLEASE don't #
- # use all these options in your working config.tel file, just the ones #
- # that you actually need. Many options can be left out, the default action#
- # (if defined) is shown in parens () next to the option. #
- # #
- # Thank you for your support #
- #---------------------------------------------------------------------------#
-
- #
- # This example file is for my=bootp, in which case the following items are
- # determined from the bootp server: (and are thus commented out in this file)
- # 1. This machine's IP Address
- # 2. The network NETMASK
- # 3. The default gateway (one or more)
- # 4. Nameservers (one or more)
- # 5. The domain search list (if this clients hostname is in the bootp packet)
- #
- # Your BOOTP server needs to be RFC 1048 compliant for this to work
- #
- # If you have nameservers, gateways or a domainslist already specified
- # in this file, then the file's entry takes precedence.
- # Extra gateways and nameservers will be added by BOOTP if found, however.
- #----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- # You can set a DOS environment variable CONFIGTEL to point to this file
- # then you don't need batch files or the -h option.
- #
- # C> set CONFIGTEL=C:\net\myconfig.tel
- #
- # You may also use environment variables to include config.tel options,
- # such as:
- # C> set $CUTCP1=myip~197.001.42.98;netmask~255.255.252.0
- # C> set $CUTCP2=name~x;hostip~128.163.298.2
- #
- # and so on up to $CUTCP99. Note that you use a tilde (~) instead of (=)
- # in the dos set command because two ='s are not allowed by Dos.
- #
- # Additionally, there is a new config.tel option called include= which
- # allows the nesting (up to 3) configuration files deep.
- #
- #
- # You can use these new options on networks to make your configuration job
- # easier. CUTCP always opens config.tel files as read-only, so you can mark
- # your files as sharable, read only. Also, you can use the include= command
- # in a $CUTCP environment variable, and on the command line.
-
- # *Note* that you can not include a machine specific parameter before
- # name=default... This used to work in old versions, but is strictly
- # enforced in this version.
- # --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- # This file is free form
- # Separators are any char <33 and :;=
- #
- # The form is keyword=value for each parameter.
- # The first set of parameters refer to the whole program's defaults.
- # These parameter values can be in any order.
- # Following this are the individual machine specs.
- #
-
- myip=128.153.28.65 # (bootp)
- # myip types are:
- # bootp - sends out a BOOTP request for your IP
- # rarp - Uses reverse ARp to get your IP
- # xx.yy.zz.qq - your IP address
-
- vjc=no # (no)
- # set vjc=yes if you're running slip and
- # you want to use Van Jacobson TCP header
- # compression
-
- splayc=no # (no) ack. splay compression w/ vjc.. don't
- # use it, not standard, development option only
-
- myname=userid # put your userid here, used for Rlogin
- # PC-NFS version ignores this value and uses the name
- # that you specified to your pcnfsd.
-
- netmask=255.255.252.0 # needed if not using BOOTP.
- # otherwise not needed because Bootp gets your netmask
- # for you
-
- hardware=packet # (packet)
- # harware choices
- # 3com - 3com 3c501
- # 3c523 - 3com 3c523
- # wd800 - Western Digitial 800E
- # nicpc -
- # nicps -
- # ni5210 - Micom Interlan NI5210 card
- # packet - FTP packet Driver spec
- # (currently only Ethernet and Slip class devices are supported)
-
- interrupt=2 # hardware IRQ interrupt
- address=0 # (0)
- # base memory address or packet driver class
- # if using packet driver (0 == default == ethernet)
- # or class=6 for slip
-
- ioaddr=0 # (0)
- # I/O address or packet int vector if using packet driver
- # If = 0 and packet driver, telbin looks for first
- # packet driver found between 60H and 7FH
-
- noarpme=yes # Don't arp for myself before running? (no)
- # if yes, inhibits the initial arp request
- # for this IP address. However, if yes, won't
- # warn you if another user is using this IP
- # address. For some token ring systems, you'll
- # need noarpme=yes.
-
- include="nul" # if you want to include another file as part
- # of this one (you can nest up to three includes)
- # otherwise, don't use this option
-
- domaintime=4 # domain name lookup timeout (first retry)
- domainretry=4 # domain name max number of retries
- domainslist="clarkson.edu,aux.clarkson.edu" # domain name search path
- # domain name lookup will attach each of these
- # comma seperated suffixes to
- # the end of the name you are looking for to
- # discover the full name and IP address.
- # so, looking for x tries x.clarkson.edu and x.aux.clarkson.edu then just x
- # unless you use x. which ONLY looks for x
-
- ## Also, the fewer suffixes in the domainslist
- ## the less time you will have to wait if you mis-type an entry.
- ## Finally, try not to use a suffix like . or .edu or .com this will
- ## waste a lot of time looking for a bogus host name if you mis-type an entry.
