Quoting from the install instructions: To install the software, copy each .zip file onto a separate floppy. Insert diskette #1 into drive A: type win a:setup (assuming you have the installation floppy in the A drive). You will be prompted for all the other relevant information (i.e. adapter type, IP address, subnetmask, etc.). You can use Custom to configure some optional information (i.e. default gateway, DNS server, etc.). During the installation you will be prompted for a serial number. The valid serial number is DEMO_520045343970001, and the Key is F39B. The included software is only valid for 30 days from March 3, 1994. So, some time in April you'll get a license violation message, at which time you are supposed to run out and purchase a legal copy (we will not object to purchases prior to the expiration day). The winsock.dll provided in this release is compatible with the Windows Sockets version 1.1 specification. If you find any problems, please send your e-mail to winsock@netmanage.com. Actually, we want to hear from you even if you don't have any problems.

This is a VxD that provides DOS-box and Windows support of packet driver applications on top of the NDIS v3.0 interface used by WfW 3.11, Windows NT, and Windows 95.

If you know what this does, please inform me.

It can be used with clients such as Windows for Workgroups, Windows NT, OS/2, Pathworks, and LanManager for DOS. This means that it can attach to Windows NT and WFW servers or mount portions of the UNIX file system on these machines. You can also print from UNIX to an SMB printer by adding an entry in /etc/printcap. It supports username/password security, umask support, guest connections and system attribute mapping. Samba is being run under Linux, SunOS, Solaris, SVR4, Ultrix, OSF1, AIX, BSDI, NetBSD, Sequent, HP-UX, SGI, FreeBSD, and NeXT. I just installed this on my UNIX machine, and I am ecstatic. I haven't gotten the print server to work yet (hints anyone?), but I am sharing files between the UNIX machine and others running WFW and NT. Compared with publicly distributable NFS implementations, this SMB-based solution integrates well with Windows, is easier to secure (transfers occur over TCP, not UDP) leaves the PCs with quite a bit more low memory (570K vs. 470K for NFS), is more stable, and faster than most NFS implementations to boot. What more could you ask for? Not only does Samba implement B-node technology, but it also appears to support P and M node technology via a UNIX implementation of the NetBIOS Name Server (NBNS), which runs as a daemon called nmbd. The SMB server, smbd, can either be called up by inetd or run as a daemon. Other nice features include proper locking as required by OLE2 apps. This is not yet handled by any NFS implementations. Only major deficit is that browsing is not yet supported.

Available at ftp://ftp.netcom.com/pub/jfesler/gigo.zip Downright speculation X-Ray/Winsock API Trace/Debugger $169 X-Ray/Winsock is a debugger for the Windows Sockets API, which shows the interaction between a Windows application and theWinsock API in realtime. X-Ray displays Winsock API functions both before and after the call with parameters, constants and flags displayed according to their "C" header file equivalents. All "send" and "recv" data can be displayed in Hex and/or ASCII. All pointers are checked for validity. X-Ray has a selectable circular or fixed trace buffer with 2000 event capacity. Applications that are X-Rayed do not need debug information such as Codeview or modifications to the application. X-Ray can be used at the customer site, using production versions of applications. X-Ray has a unique floating "Details" window that displays individual trace records. VCR style controls are used to selectively view any records currently in the trace buffer. The trace buffer can be searched for a parameter value, error code, or other information. Context-sensitive help is available for all Winsock API functions. X-Ray can trace Winsock functions occurring in multiple applications simul- taneously. Individual applications can be selected for tracing. X-Ray has multiple logging options, including DBWin and file.
