~ftp/x500/README: University of Michigan X.500 related distributions

This is the long list; see ~ftp/x500/MANIFEST for shorter descriptions.

9 June 1992
 DIXIE server/library/ud client

    Location:	~ftp/x500/dixie-1.4.tar.Z
     Version:	1.4
 Description:	The dixie distribution contains an intermediate protocol
		server that speaks X.500 on one side and dixie on the other
		(over udp/tcp).  The server does protocol translation,
		ASN.1 encoding/decoding, etc.  The server is used by
		the maX.500 client described below.  Also included
		is a simple Unix client called ud, and an application
		library that can be used by programmers to access the
		dixie protocol (and thus X.500).  Many of the other
		X.500 servers and clients developed at U-M and elsewhere
		make use of this software.
    Changes:	Support for audio attributes and jpeg format photos has
		been added to the server and client library.  The client
		library has been enhanced to try all IP addresses the
		dixie server name has listed in its DNS record (up to 4 IP
		addresses on DOS and on the Macintosh).  Numerous bug fixes
		and enhancements to the server, library, and ud client.
      Notes:	The distribution is a compressed tar file.


9 June 1992
  ud client Unix binaries distribution
    Location:	~ftp/x500/ud.binaries.tar.Z
     Version:   1.10
 Description:   ud is simple command line white pages interface to X.500.
		The source is included in the DIXIE source distribution (see
		above for details).  This is a binary distribution that
		includes version 1.10 of ud for the following platforms:
		    NeXT machine, NeXT OS 2.1
		    Sun Sparc family, SunOS 4.1.1
		    Sun-3 (MC68000) family, SunOS 3.5 and 4.1.1
		    DEC 3000/5000 (MIPS) family, Ultrix 4.2
		    IBM RS6000 family, AIX 3.1
      Notes:	The distribution is a compressed tar file.


9 June 1992
  BUD X.500 client for MSDOS
    Location:	~ftp/x500/bud.exe
     Version:	1.10
 Description:	This is version 1.10 of the ud command-line X.500 client,
		built for DOS using the NCSA TCP/IP software.  It requires
		that your MSDOS machine be configured to run NCSA Telnet.
		There is no documentation for bud at the present time.
      Notes:	The distribution is binary MSDOS .exe file.


9 June 1992
  go500 Gopher to X.500 gateway daemon
    Location:	~ftp/x500/go500.tar.Z
     Version:	N/A
 Description:	go500 is a simple daemon that transforms queries from Gopher
		clients to X.500 queries.  Point your gopher client at
		totalrecall.rs.itd.umich.edu port 5555 if you want to try
		this out.
      Notes:	The distribution is a compressed tar file.  go500 has only
		been built and tested on a Sun4 running SunOS 4.1.1.  There
		are definite University of Michigan dependencies in the code,
		but they can easily be cleaned up.


19 May 1992
 X.500 Finger daemon
    Location:	~ftp/x500/dixie-fingerd.tar.Z
     Version:	N/A
 Description:	This is a replacement for the standard Unix finger daemon
		that looks up names in X.500 instead of in /etc/passwd or
		the local equivalent.  It uses the dixie protocol and
		client library (see "DIXIE server/library/ud client" above).
		If you want to see how it works, finger <name>@umich.edu.
      Notes:	The distribution is a compressed tar file.  This has only
		been built and tested on a Sun4 running SunOS 4.1.1.  There
		are definite University of Michigan dependencies in the code,
		but they can easily be cleaned up.



18 October 1991
 maX.500 Macintosh client binary distribution

    Location:	~ftp/x500/maX.500.sit.hqx
     Version:	1.1
 Description:	This software provides X.500 white pages access from the Mac
       Notes:	This is a Binhex format, StuffIt 1.5 file compressed file
		with the binary and some documentation enclosed.  It can
		be ftp'd in text/ASCII mode.  You will need StuffIt 1.5 or
		later to decode and decompress the file.


18 September 1991
 X.500 sendmail

    Location:	~ftp/x500/x500sendmail-5.64.x500.tar.Z
    		~ftp/x500/x500sendmail-5.65.x500.tar.Z
     Version:	1.1
 Description:   A sendmail (5.64 or 5.65, take your pick) modified to
		do X.500 lookups.  Lookups are accomplished by using udp
		to contact the dixie server, which keeps a connection open
		to the DSA.  Instructions for making and configuring things
		are in the sendmail source in READ_ME.X500.  Mail sent
		to <name>@umich.edu makes use of this modified sendmail.
    Changes:    Since 1.0, the x.500 sendmail now uses the dixie server
		instead of duad.  Also, a few changes to the way
		lookups are done (uid's are now looked up). Groups are also
		handled.  A few bug fixes, too.
      Notes:    This distribution is a compressed tar file.  Also, the
		distribution contains only the src/ subdirectory of the
		sendmail distribution, so you should cd into the toplevel
		sendmail source directory before untarring.
