This is an enhanced version of the CMU BOOTP server which was derived
from the original BOOTP server created by Bill Croft at Stanford.
This version merges all the enhancements and bug-fixes from the NetBSD,
Columbia, and other versions.  Includes DHCP patch.  Compatible with
NEXTSTEP 3.x and OpenStep for Mach 4.x.

This version varies from NeXT's/Apple's supplied bootpd in a few very
important ways:
1.  Does not use NetInfo, and only uses the flatfile config
    /usr/local/etc/bootptab
2.  Includes DHCP patch, so it will serve DHCP requests.


NOTES:

Regarding the versioning of this package, I tacked on a .2 to the
version of this port to represent my second attempt at porting 
bootp-DD2.4.3 to NEXTSTEP.


CHANGELOG
