Note: look, looks and pinger have been renamed to atlook, atlooks, and atpinger to resolve naming conflicts with standard bsd utilities. atlook.c - Find AppleTalk entities and print information - note: look.c contains the code for looks and pinger atlooklws - Find AppleTalk LaserWriters and print status atpinger - Utilizes the echo protocol to "ping" hosts lwpr.c - Send file to AppleTalk LaserWriter - note: lwpr also contains the code for iwpr iwpr - send file to appletalk imagewriter tlw.c - Talks to LaserWriter "Interactive Executive" isrv.c - Sample Server for ImageWriter (experimental) lsrv.c - NO LONGER DISTRIBUTED (as of distribution 5) efsd.c - NO LONGER DISTRIBUTED (as of distribution 5) ash.c - sample afp client - allows a few things to be done with appleshare servers instappl.c - allows an application to be installed into a unix aufs volume getzones.c - return list of zones from KIP (1/88 or later) You can get a basic idea of what some of these programs do by reading the "man" pages in ../man: atlook.1x: atlook, atlooklws, atpinger atprint.1x: lwpr, lsrv, isrv, tlw cap.8: overview atis.8: atistest atistest is for verification in the installation procedure. We no longer distribute lsrv or efsd. lwsrv and papif have been upgraded to "application" level. General notes: tlw, lwpr, iwpr now have a settable "Send Flow Quantum multiplier" called SFLOWQ that tells them how many pkts they can send in a single write. You should set this to 1 if you have problems with the FastPath or LaserWriter dropping packets. By default, it is set to 8 (the maximum). Setting fastether in m4.setup sets it to 1. lwpr makes use of /etc/cap.printers. This really isn't necessary, but it's nice.
