Overview
--------
Text Server (TS) is a simple Windows Sockets server that
illustrates the "other" side of client/server computing,
winsock style.  TS accepts client connections and interprets
queries as file specifiers.  TS then opens the requested
file, and sends it back to the client.  Outbound buffer
traffic shows up in the client window.  This server speaks
the finger protocol, and will respond to any finger client.
(e.g., the Windows Sockets 3.x Finger clients)

Contents
---------
makefile       Builds the distribution.
txtsrv.c       The source, Luke.
txtsrv.*       The usual Windows complement  of .def, .dlg,
               .h, .ico and .rc files.
default.txt    Lewis Carroll's "The Hunting of the Snark."
               TS replies with this file when given a null query.
               (Snark mode)
Requirements
------------
*  Since Text Server dynamically links to the winsock DLL
   and builds with the winsock.h, .def, and .lib files,
   you'll need a TCP/IP implementation that provides a
   Windows Sockets interface.

*  The 1.0 distribution was built with the Microsoft C/C++
   7.0 SDK.

*  You need a finger client to query the server.

Comments
--------
When using WS M/Finger 3.1, specify the file spec in the
"user id" field.  In UNIX:

     finger 'c:\autoexec.bat'@waldo
                              
retrieves the autoexec.bat file from Windows 3.x host waldo.
