Appendix F. Source Code Availability

This book uses many publicly available software packages. This appendix provides additional details on how to obtain this software.

The technique used to obtain this software is called anonymous FTP, where FTP is the standard Internet File Transfer Protocol (Chapter 27). Section 27.3 shows an example of anonymous FTP. For a background on Internet resources in general, and specifically anonymous FTP, refer to any of the recently available books on the Internet, such as [LaQuey 1993] or [Krol 1992].

The hosts listed here are believed to be the primary site where the package is available. There may be many other sites where the software is also available. The Internet Archie service can locate additional versions. Also, the versions listed below are the ones used for the examples in the text.

Newer versions may have been released by the time you read this.

You should use the FTP dir command to see if newer versions exist on that specified host.
