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

To extract the directories shown above, type the following commands
(where "A:" represents the directory or device containing SOSS.ZIP:

	mkdir soss
	cd soss
	unzip -d 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.
