We have produced a DOS(MS-windows) Directory interface here at Brunel,
and will be following it with a DOS(character-mode) version soon. The
MS-Windows version is in final-beta at present.

Both versions are designed to work with similar X.400 user Agents from
Edinburgh.

A PostScript `glossy' can be found by FTP on src.brunel.ac.uk in the
file x500/glossy.ps (note that directory browsing is not supported by
our FTP service).

At present the interfaces run on CONS (Connection Oriented Network
Service) though I believe that there is a TCP (RFC1006) stack being
built, to run on BWNFS in the first instance.

I believe that the Edinburgh X.400 agents are available commercially -
contact C.J.Adie@edinburgh.ac.uk for more details.

The Brunel DUAs will also be made available, but the precise mechanism
has yet to be decided.


There is also a DOS version of Paul Barker's `de' (the Paradise
interface) which runs over Packet Drivers.
