Announcing the release of Xnetlib ver. 3.3
What it is -
Xnetlib is a new version of netlib recently developed at the
University of Tennessee and Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
Unlike netlib, which uses electronic mail to process requests
for software, xnetlib uses an X Window graphical user
interface and a socket-based connection between the user's
machine and the xnetlib server machine to process software
requests. Xnetlib is available to anyone who has access to
the TCP/IP Internet.
Xnetlib provides access to files and a whois style database
residing on the Netlib server at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
Xnetlib also connects to two other xnetlib servers, one at
Rice University, and the other at the Army Research Laboratory.
Our intention is to release the xnetlib server code in a few
months.
Xnetlib requires the Athena widget set (Xaw).
How to get it -
By anonymous ftp from cs.utk.edu in pub/xnetlib/xnetlib3.3.tar.Z
By email, send a message to netlib@netlib.ornl.gov containing the line:
send xnetlib.shar from xnetlib
If you have any questions, please send mail to xnetlib@cs.utk.edu
