Peter Furniss and Hewlett-Packard are pleased to announce the second release of the XTI minimal OSI prototype (XTI/mOSI). The implementation uses the minimal OSI mapping of X/Open's XTI transport interface to provide access to the OSI upper-layers -- the Session, Presentation and ACSE protocols. The upper-layer protocol sent corresponds to the octet sequences defined in the IETF thinosi cookbook and is a conformant subset of the OSI protocols as defined in the standards. The prototype conforms to the ISO/IEC Profile: Common Upper Layer Requirements: Minimal OSI Upper Layer Facilities. This release includes some improvments in the OSI upper-layer capabilities - it can handle multiple presentation data values in one P-DATA, multiple presentation contexts (mostly), AP and AE invocation identifiers. Most of these features have been handled by interim mechanisms that are not part of the XTI/mOSI specification. It also has slightly cleaned-up source code. The software and its documentation are available by anonymous ftp from: host pluto.ulcc.ac.uk directory ulcc/thinosi/xtimosi files README short explanation xtimosi1.tar.Z compressed tar of source and documentation as text This prototype was developed by Peter Furniss with the support and assistance of Hewlett-Packard. It is jointly owned by Peter Furniss and HP. The prototype provides an easy-to-use implementation of a small but widely applicable subset of the OSI upper-layers. The software is freely available to be used as you wish. See COPYRIGHT file in the documentation for details. We would like to know what you think of it, and which missing features are the most important. Peter Furniss p.furniss@ulcc.ac.uk Jim Quigley quigley@cup.hp.com 12 July 1994
