- SOSS, a file server for DOS-based systems which supports version 2 of the
- NFS protocol, is free software. You may use it within your organization
- for any purpose desired. You may redistribute it to other organizations,
- provided you do not earn a profit when doing so, that you make source
- code available, and that you abide by the terms of the Gnu General
- Public License (see the file COPYING).
-
- Manifest:
- exe Contains executables and sample support files
- src Source code for NFS
- rpc Source code for RPC
- lib Microsoft C-built libraries (CMU PC/IP)
- include Include files (CMU PC/IP)
- d2x Source code and doc for DOS/Unix conversion utilities
- doc Documentation for SOSS
-
- SOSS is distributed in ZOO format; ZOO is a public-domain archive
- utility which is widely available. ZOO.EXE for DOS should be available
- from your SOSS distribution system; you should download the SOSS.ZOO
- and ZOO.EXE files in binary mode. To extract the directories shown
- above, type the following commands (where "A:" represents the directory
- or device containing SOSS.ZOO):
-
- mkdir soss
- cd soss
- zoo x// A:soss
-
- Follow the instructions in INSTALL in order to get things up and
- running. The file doc/unixdos.txt is a paper which provides background
- on the motivation for creating and enhancing SOSS.
-
- NOTE
-
- The PC/IP software will not run unless you specify both
- the IP address and the subnet mask. Use a value smaller
- than 24 bits for the subnet; for example, selecting
- 16 will result in a mask of 255.255.255.0.
-
- A smaller archive containing only the doc, exe, and d2x subdirectories
- is also available for those who are not interested in source code.
- Microsoft C version 5.1 was used to produce the binaries included here.
