-< Version 2.0 release note >- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RPC Software Release 2.0 DATE: March 1987 ================ Advice to users of development versions of the software (V2 & DEV). Version 2 of the RPC software for the VAX is now nominally stable: this means is does not get any more features, only back-compatible bug fixes if essential. The version is known as V2.0. The command (on VXCRNA) @DISK$DD:[RPC]RPC now invokes version 2.0. (The login command @[rpc.v2]setup is obsolete and should not be used. The development version @[rpc]rpcdev will continue to exist but will continue to evolve, and so should only be used by those developing RPC software.) To ensure your files are compatible with version 2.0, 1. Regenerate all stub modules, and 2. Recompile any modules directly calling the rpc kernel. The diferences between versions 1 and 2 (mostly added features) are described in the new version of the RPC manual. Mail me if you want a copy, or for a copy without diagrams, if you are at CERN, on VXCRNA use $XSCRIPT/NEW/OPT="CPI=12 PASS=2"/... - DISK$DD:[TIMBL.DOC]RPCUSER.TXT where /... selects a multifont laserprinter (eg /DEV=APA6670/BAT=513 for the one in building 513 or /DEV=I3812/NAME=DD31A for the one in building 31). Mail me also if you would like RPC software for the M680x0 or M6809. Tim Berners-Lee DD/OC
