NORM PRELIMINARY CODE RELEASE
|
|
|
|
The NORM code here is still preliminary but a functional "norm"
|
|
command-line application can be built which can send and receive
|
|
a set of files _or_ a stream piped to/from stdin/stdout. The command-
|
|
line options are not yet fully documented, but there is abbreviated "help"
|
|
available in the "norm" application. And many options are similar to the
|
|
preceding NRL MDP work (see http://mdp.pf.itd.nrl.navy.mil).
|
|
|
|
A "normTest.cpp" program is now included which is a simple demonstration
|
|
(and active test code) of the evolving NORM API. When the API is
|
|
further completed, I plan to provide a few different example applications
|
|
(file transfer, streaming, etc) which use the API.
|
|
|
|
The Win32 code is not yet as well-tested as the Unix version, but
|
|
might be OK at this point. I will do more Win32 testing when I get
|
|
caught up on the API development and documentation.
|
|
|
|
The NORM code depends upon the current "Protolib" release. The NORM
|
|
source code tarballs contain an appropriate release of "Protolib" as
|
|
part of the NORM source tree. If the NORM code is checked out from
|
|
our CVS server, it is necessary to also check out "protolib" separately
|
|
and provide paths to it for NORM to build.
