SEMI-IMPORTANT RELEASE NOTES

This is an INTERIM release of my modified FTP server.  Because work on
the server has been stalled for a long time, and because lots of people
seem to want to do the things this server DOES do, I'm releasing this
version.  To the best of my knowledge, it works and has no major bugs.
The features are all incremental, and with one exception, are
completely compatible with existing FTP clients.  The exception is the
multi-line messages the server will use to respond to many commands
when some features are enabled, for example:

	OLD STYLE FTP

	ftp> cd /pub
	220 CWD command successful.

	THIS FTP

	ftp> cd /pub
    220-Please read the file README
    220-  it was last modified on Thu Feb 21 10:35:09 1991 - 214 days ago
	220 CWD command successful.

Some of the older FTP clients, which do not conform to the FTP
specifications, barf on these multi-line messages.  Multi-line messages
can be disabled on a per-connection basis by using a dash (-) as the
first character of the user's password.

REALLY IMPORTANT RELEASE NOTES

The next release of the FTP server is going to include some significant
changes.  The most important one is that the logging format for file
transfers is going to be completely different, and quite incompatible.
There will probably *NOT* be any program provided to convert your old
logfiles to the new format.

SOME CAVEATS

I've tested the server on a number of different machines around campus,
and I believe that it can be made to work on most BSD-compatible
systems with a minimal amount of work.  I welcome any and all bug
reports you may have, but *PLEASE* do not send me any "foo system"
compatibility patches.  The server isn't finished yet because I don't
have time to work on it, so do you really think that I have time to
integrate your patches for a system that I have no way to test them
on?!

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
