    Re. -1 (yes again)
    I put the parts that I had together and un-zoo'ed it.  Of course
    I recieved an error message and zoo aborted.  But, it looks as if
    the binaries are there and just part of the sources are missing.
    Unfornately I have not had the time to try it out yet,  I hope to
    this week.
    
    What has been some other experience with dnet?  Is it reliable (unlike
    my spelling :) ?

1740.7It does work!!TIMA1::GUESTWed Oct 19 1988 11:4326
Hi,
    I've used it and I also missed the fourth part.
    
    Any way the binary for the amiga side are intact and it works fine.
    
    I suppose only part of amiga side sources are missed, but they can
    be retreived looking in the unix side sources, with some liitle
    work of course :-)
    
    Any way what it does is a sort of multi-session link between an amiga
    and a u***x cpu over asynchronous serial line.
    
    In other words you can perform both way file transfers and remote
    terminal sessions in the same time . 
    
    Of course more session you have at one time worse performance you
    have per single session. 
    
    I tried all of this and it worked. 
    
    The only thing I was not able to do is to initiate a session from
    the U***X side.  (I'm not too familiar with this O.S. and I'm not
    able to understand some points in the docs).
    
    Roberto.
    
1740.8Host side porting may be difficultNAC::PLOUFFCider Season Has BegunWed Oct 19 1988 12:1411
    The Unix side of DNET may be more difficult to recover.  It was
    sent out as a 'tar' format file, which is a sort of Unix saveset,
    and the VMS 'untar' program I located doesn't understand it.  However,
    you can pick apart the tar file manually with a text editor.
    
    Now comes the hard part.   If you want to use the Unix side on any
    minicomputer, it contains some specific Berkeley 4.3-isms.  Hardest
    one to translate may be 'sockets,' one way to communicate between
    processes.  Anybody who tries a VMS port, good luck!
