What is *SAMBA*?

     *SAMBA* is an open source suite of programs for communicating
     over the Microsoft NETBIOS protocols on TCP/IP.  It was
     developed originally by Andrew Tridgell who is still active
     in guiding *SAMBA's* evolution.

     For more information about *SAMBA*, see HTTP://WWW.*SAMBA*.ORG

     Licensing for *SAMBA* is covered under the GNU Public License.

     The *SAMBA*-*VMS* home page is currently at:
     http://www.ifn.ing.tu-bs.de/ifn/sonst/*samba*-*vms*.html <http://www.ifn.ing.tu-bs.de/ifn/sonst/samba-vms.html>

     It is maintained by Eckart Meyer, who is responsible for
     the majority of the *SAMBA*-*VMS* port.

     With out the hard work of Eckart Meyer, there probably
     would not be a *SAMBA*-*VMS* port.

     A port of *SAMBA* 2.0.6 is available on the OpenVMS Freeware
     CD-ROM.  It's location is:

     http://www.openvms.compaq.com/freeware/FREEWARE50/*SAMBA*/ <http://www.openvms.compaq.com/freeware/FREEWARE50/SAMBA/>

     It requires a helper library:

Present here is Samba V 2.2.8a for VMS and unix sources for V3.0 beta3
and some other bits.
