XTI/mOSI prototype - first release

Peter Furniss and Hewlett-Packard are pleased to announce the first
release (really a pre-release) of the XTI minimal OSI prototype
(XTI/mOSI).  This 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.

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

		mosidoc_rtf.zip		Zip file of the documentation
					in Rich Text Format
			

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.

This release is an interim. Some things the software should do, it
cannot yet do. It is intended to remove a lot of the debugging code.
As will be the case with the planned revised version, 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.
