LINCKS main ftp directory

Users in the U.S. can get this software from the following mirrors

• ftp.uu.net:pub/database/lincks/
• gatekeeper.dec.com:/pub/net/infosys/lincks/
• sunsite.unc.edu:pub/packages/database/lincks/

This directory contains the source code and bootstrap database for the LINCKS (Linkopings INtelligent Communication of Knowledge System) database system.

If you don't have gnuzip, see the file COMPRESSION in the top directory.

We can be reached by e-mail at lincks@ida.liu.se. Bug reports can be sent to lincks-bugs@ida.liu.se.

The files in this directory are:

• README "This file"

• ANNOUNCEMENT Copy of the announcement sent out on UseNet.

• HISTORY List of bug fixes and improvements done to the system. Also included in tar files.

• LINCKS.FAQ Frequently Asked Questions about the LINCKS system. Also included in the tar files.

• lincks-2.tar.gz A (symbolic link) to the last version

• lincks-2.2.1.tar.gz LINCKS Release 2.2 patchlevel 1, the source for the database system, the documentation, and the bootstrap database. This is a gzip compressed tar file. If you don't have gzip, I recommend you get it, as it's better than `compress' (IMHO). It's available at prep.ai.mit.edu in pub/gnu and at other GNU ftp sites (released 940609).

• lincks-2.2.tar.gz LINCKS Release 2.2 (released 940602)

• lincks-2.1.tar.gz LINCKS Release 2.1

• lincks-2.2.1.patch.README Information about lincks-2.2.1.patch.gz a patch for LINCKS Release 2.2 (lincks-2.2.tar.gz)

• lincks-2.x-X11R6.patch Patch to compile LINCKS under X11 R6.

• xlincks_manual.ps.gz the xlincks User's Manual for the interface to the LINCKS system, also include in the tar files. Compressed with gzip.

• lincks_admin.ps.gz the LINCKS System Adminstration Manual, also included in the tar files. Compressed with gzip.

• articles/ a directory with LINCKS related articles and technical reports.

• alpha/ directory with patches to LINCKS, alpha quality.

• xnotify.shar.gzthe current release of xnotify, a little toy to pop up messages on one or multiple X displays and get some sort of response to that message. Written by David Partain. This is compressed using gzip, which is GNU's compression utility. I suggest you get it if you don't have it.

User contributions and patches will be added to this directory as time goes by.
