KIP is the IP-ETHER/APPLETALK gateway software used with the Kinetics KFPS. Developed by Bill Croft at SUMEX, Stanford University, KIP is public domain.
The Columbia AppleTalk Package (CAP) for UNIX was written by Bill Schilit and Charlie C. Kim of Columbia University. A library of routines enables a UNIX host to communicate using the AppleTalk Transaction Protocol (ATP), AppleTalk Session Protocol (ASP), Printer Access Protocol (PAP), Name Binding Protocol (NBP), and the AppleTalk Filing Protocol (AFP--client side). It, too, is public-domain software
The first major applications written using these libraries is the AppleTalk Filing Protocol UNIX File Server (AUFS), which is the server part of AFP. AUFS requires that AppleShare workstation software be installed on the client Macintosh. CAP includes applications that can be used to print to a LaserWriter, spool for a LaserWriter, and act as UNIX-based, AppleShare-compatible file server.
The CAP libraries currently require use of the UDP protocol from the DARPA TCP/IP suite of protocols and other features generally provided only in Unix systems based on 4.2 BSD Unix.
If you have Internet access, you can "ftp" the following KIP files from the <info-mac> directory on sumex-aim.stanford.edu machine. Use login name "anonymous" with FTP.
- at-kip.shar gateway and daemon source
- at-gw.srec latest gateway 'binary' in S-record hex format
- at-ddt.shar source for the network debugger.
The following information is from CAP distribution:
The CAP distribution is via anonymous FTP from cunixc.columbia.edu [128.59.32.130]. The directory is cap and the files in that directory are:
- INFO is an information file
- README contains release notes
- MODIFICATIONS is a list of modifications from distribution 4 to 5
- cap.tar.Z is the distribution in tar format "compress"ed using "compress"
- shar/cap50.1shar is the first half of cap dist - shell archive
- shar/cap50.2shar is the second half of cap dist - shell archive
