NETGRF is an experimental TELNET/NGP server. It will support several
users (as opposed to regular server, which uses one job slot per
user), and handles a subset of Sproull's NGP (Network Graphics
Protocol). One uses it in the same way as the ordinary TELNET
server, except that socket 197 (305 octal) is used for initial
connection protocol. At the current time, only new TELNET protocol
is supported. Thus under TENEX, type:
@TELNET
#CONNECT.TO SAIL 305
If your TELNET program supports NGP transformed format, a greeting
should appear on your screen. As of now, few graphics programs have
been interfaced to NGP; if you want to experiment, you could try
GEOMED (Baumgart's Geometric Modeling program) or NEWMUS (Stanford
Music Compiler).
Please let me know the first time you use NETGRF by typing:
MAIL [NET,TVR]
<message>
<control-Z>
If you have any comments, suggestions or complaints, or you want more
information, use the above procedure. If you need documentation on
NGP, you can send a note to SPROULL@PARC-MAXC.
