You mean if TCP/IP should be distributed using RPM?
It's a possibility for sure. I haven't thought much about it, but in
fact, it could be an easy way for people to get updates.
Let me think a bit, and look at it. :-)

Nice functionality to arrive so easily at a well-kept updated environment!
Big question now obviously appearing: will TCP/IP follow suit or is that not
so suitable concerning the host machine?
Thanks,

RPM is a packet manager for RSX (it has nothing to do with the Red Hat Packet
Manager, except the name).
Johnny,
I love not only the new RPM software repository tool but also all the
updated software tools. A few of the software packages that RPM listed were
even new to me!
You're welcome. And have have *lots* of more software. It will just take a lot
of time to work through it all and create packages for it.
Also, I was behind in getting the latest versions of your NEMA, MKE and
several others. This will make it very easy to stay current.
Similar problem to my own... What version did I now have on that machine? Did I
do any updates since I last installed there? What software do I actually have?
And where is it...?
Thanks for this and also thanks for the latest version of your TCP/IP
system.
Happy to provide it. And it looks like it has already seen some action, based
on the ftp logs at MIM... :-)
Johnny
