- 8/14/91 -- Charon 3.4 Readme File
-
- This release of Charon is principally a bug-fix release. It fixes a major
- bug in the TCP code, minor problems with the timezone (TZ) settings, and
- adds the capability of mailing to Novell groups.
-
-
- If your Charon gateway occasional stops receiving mail via SMTP, you should
- get this version. If you haven't had any problems, upgrading is optional.
-
- If you have an existing Charon configuration, you need only begin using the
- new charon.exe, no configuration file changes are needed.
-
- The Supervisor's manual has been re-written under WordPerfect 5.1
- (it used to be in Script (ack)). Additional installation and operation
- instructions are included in the manual.
-
- The Supervisor's manual is available in three forms. (50 pages)
-
- manual.ps - PostScript output (preferred)
- manual.txt - LinePrinter output (ugly)
- manual.wp - WordPerfect 5.1 (tm) (for everyone else)
-
- All three forms are included in the .ZIP file. The manuals are available
- separately only from:
-
- omnigate.clarkson.edu:/pub/cutcp/charon-3.4/manual.*
-
- If you download the manuals, be sure to copy them in Binary mode!
