CAP - Columbia AppleTalk Package for UNIX (4.2 BSD). (For use with AppleTalk/Ethernet bridge) o RELEASE NOTES o CAP Distribution 5.00, May 1988 Introduction ------------ This distribution should allow asp, atp, pap client and server applications to be developed. The 10/86, 2/87, 9/87 or 1/88 Revision of the UDP software, known as "KIP", developed by Bill Croft at SUMEX, Stanford University is required. Revision 1/88 or later is preferred. ABSTRACT -------- CAP is written for BSD 4.2 Unix and derivatives. CAP implements a library containing a portion of Apple Computer's AppleTalk protocols. In order to use this package you need an AppleTalk/Ethernet bridge (e.g. Kinetics FastPath box). CAP includes a number of applications that can be used to print to a LaserWriter, spool for a LaserWriter, and act as Unix based AppleShare compatible file server (no support for AppleShare PC). CAP also includes a number of sample programs and contributed software. CAP library routines are structured, for the most part, the same as the Apple routines described in "Inside AppleTalk" and "Inside LaserWriter." Refer to the Apple documents and the procedure comments for a complete description of the routines and how to call them. Bill Croft's original work in this area provided the inspiration for CAP.
