A N N O U N C E M E N T
The final public release of the "ISO Development Environment" will be
available on June 19th 1992. This release is called
ISODE-8.0
This software supports the development of certain kinds of OSI protocols
and applications. Here are the details:
- The ISODE is not proprietary, but it is not in the public domain. This was
necessary to include a "hold harmless" clause in the release. The upshot
of all this is that anyone can get a copy of the release and do anything
they want with it, but no one takes any responsibility whatsoever for any
(mis)use.
- The ISODE runs on native Berkeley and AT&T System V systems
in addition to various other UNIX-like operating systems. No kernel
modifications are required.
- The modules include:
OSI transport service (TP0 on top of TCP, X.25 and CONS; TP4
for SunLink OSI)
OSI session, presentation, and association control services
ASN.1 abstract syntax/transfer notation tools, including:
remote operations stub-generator (front-end for remote operations)
structure-generator (ASN.1 to C)
element-parser (basic encoding rules)
OSI reliable transfer and remote operations services
OSI directory services
OSI file transfer, access and management
FTAM/FTP gateway
OSI virtual terminal (basic class, TELNET profile)
- ISODE Final consists of final "IS" level implementations with the
exception of VT which is a DIS implementation. The ISODE also
contains implementations of the 1984 X.400 versions of ROS and RTS.
- The discussion group [email protected] is used as an open forum on ISODE.
Contact [email protected] to be added to this list.
- The primary documentation for this release consists of an update to the
ISODE 7.0 manual. The ISODE 7.0 manual consists of a five volume
User's Manual (approx. 1000 pages) and a set of UNIX manual pages. The
sources to the User's Manual are in LaTeX format. In addition, there are
a number of notes, papers, and presentations included in the documentation
set, again in either LaTeX or SLiTeX format.
DISTRIBUTION SITES
The FTP or FTAM distributions of ISODE-8.0 consists of 3 files.
The source code and update documentation for the ISODE-8.0
distribution is in the file isode-8.tar.Z which is
approximately 5.5MB in size.
LaTeX source for the entire document set can be found
in the isode-7-doc.tar.Z file (3.5MB). A list of documents can be
found in the doc/ directory of the source tree.
A Postscript version of the five volume manual can be found in the
isode-7-ps.tar.Z file (4.3MB), and the update document in the
isode-8.ps.Z file (120KB).
1. FTP
If you can FTP to the Internet, then use anonymous FTP to uu.psi.com
[136.161.128.3] to retrieve the files in BINARY mode from the
isode/ directory.
2. NIFTP
If you run NIFTP over the public X.25 or over JANET, and are registered in
the NRS at Salford, you can use NIFTP with username "guest" and your own
name as password, to access UK.AC.UCL.CS to retrieve the files
from the <SRC> directory
3. FTAM on the JANET, IXI or PSS
The sources are available by FTAM from UCL over X.25 using
JANET (DTE 00000511160013),
IXI (DTE 20433450420113) or
PSS (DTE 23421920030013)
all with TSEL "259" (ASCII encoding).
(This service is registered under "ucl, gb" in the OSI Directory).
Use the "anon" user-identity and retrieve the files from the
src/ directory.
The file service is provided by the FTAM implementation in
ISODE 6.0 or later (IS FTAM).
ISODE CONSORTIUM
The ISODE Consortium is a not-for-profit cooperative enterprise, whose
mission is to promote and develop the ISODE package of OSI (Open
System Interconnection) applications, which has been used extensively
in the research community. The ISODE Consortium will be able to
evolve the ISODE software more rapidly than would be possible for any
single member. This will be to the mutual benefit of members of the
consortium, and will help to stimulate the market for OSI, which
is key technology to enable open communication between and within
organisations. Membership of the ISODE Consortium is open to any
organisation in any country.
The ISODE Consortium releases of ISODE will be made exclusively
available to the ISODE Consortium members or by purchase of products
from ISODE Consortium members. Academic organisations, and not for
profit or government organisations with research as their primary
purpose, will be given zero cost access to the ISODE Consortium
releases, on the basis of simply signing a licence with minimal
administrative overhead. This builds on a major strength of the
ISODE package by facilitating use of ISODE within the research
community, whilst allowing ISODE to evolve as a product base.
The ISODE Consortium has mailing lists for bug reports relating to the
ISODE Package. These are:
<[email protected]> -- bugs relating to QUIPU
<[email protected]> -- bugs relating to PP
<[email protected]> -- bugs relating to any other parts of ISODE
These lists are for the planned ISODE Consortium releases of ISODE.
Bug reports relating to the "ISODE-8.0" release of ISODE are
welcome. Changes will be incorporated into the ISODE Consortium
releases, and not released to the public domain.
