				   It also contains the definitions of

				   isockunix, osockunix, and iosockunix stream

				   classes.

Copyright (C) 1992-1996 Gnanasekaran Swaminathan 



Permission is granted to use at your own risk and distribute this software

in source and  binary forms provided  the above copyright notice and  this

paragraph are  preserved on all copies.  This software is provided "as is"

with no express or implied warranty.



Installation Note:

-----------------

This software has been tested in sun4 running SunOs4.1.3 machine only.

If you are having problems with any aspect of socket++, please

email me at [email protected]. We can fix it together.



This software works with proposed C++ standard iostream library. Thus

if you are using libg++, you need at least libg++-2.7.2.



Your C++ compiler should be able to handle C++ exceptions and templates.

Thus if you are using G++, you need at least gcc-2.7.2.



socket++.texi needs at least texinfo-2.16.



Gcc, libg++, and texinfo are all available for anonymous ftp from

	prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu



	cd socket++-1.11

	env CCC=c++ ./configure --prefix="your favorite location"

	make           

	cd test

	make check     



If you are using a compiler that is invoked by a command other than c++, 

use that command instead on CCC=c++ in the above.



Testing:

-------

make check will automatically run testall.



You can also manually test as follows:

	./testall > testall.out

	diff -c testall.out testall.exp

If there are any differences, manually check whether 

testall.out and testall.exp have the same lines but only their

order is different. If they have the same lines but

for the order, you have installed properly. Otherwise,

try to findout what might be the reason and if you couldn't

please email me with your problem at [email protected].

12Jan97 1.11

  . This release brings back error handling through the use of

    exceptions. I have not included any other enhancements in

    this release. 

  . Document is out-of-date. I will work on it in the next release.

  . class sig is added. It is useful for handling signals.



17Oct95 1.10

  . Made to work cleanly in RS6000 machines

  . Bug fixes sent in by Blair incorporated.



07Aug95 1.9

  . Exceptions dropped as many compilers do not support

    it yet. A number of small bug fixes.

  . Made to work with libg++-2.7.0 and gcc-2.7.0

  . Configuration simplified greatly by Blair.



15Jan95 1.8

  . Error handling greatly enhanced through the use

    of exceptions.

  . FTP class added.



08Nov94 1.7

  . First stable version. Known to work in sunos4, aix3.2,

    hpux, ultrix, linux, and osf2.

pipestream class implementation. He also knows how to make

the socket++ library a shared library. 



Jim Anderson for reporting a bug in sockinet.C



Carl Gay  for reporting a bug

and a fix in sockinet.C



Oliver Imbusch  for reporting a bug

in Makefile.in and suggesting several enhancements for sockbuf class.

to compile under Objectcenter C++ compiler.



Solaris support is still weak, and thus the names

of people who helped to port to solaris is not listed

here yet.
