For a discussion of file naming conventions in this directory see the
file ".FILE. NAMES".

The PCNET directory is currently for:
 (1) depository of software documentation and other information
    relating to the PCNET project, originally started in 1977 by Dave
    Caulkins. To avoid clobbering an existing file by the same name,
    use ">" as the second file name, or MAIL your contributions to REM
    who will carefully install them here.
 (2) place where REM and MAP are maintaining the tree-structured database of
    PCNET information, including notes for the online workshop and
    recent changes and additions to the protocols. If you want this
    information, run the INFO program by saying :INFO PCNET <CR>,
    or send MAIL to REM asking for the toplevel PCNET INFO node.
 (3) account where remote PCNET people can run a test node, for manual
    testing of their understanding of the protocols, and for
    semi-automatic testing of their PCNET software on their personal
    computers against the working software here. Contact REM for
    password and how to use the program, after first convincing REM
    you are seriously working on PCNET software and thus need the
    access information.
 (4) depository of various implementations, partial implementations,
    and other useful code.  The code is mostly stored in the archive
    files, read ARCHIV NOTES for information on accessing them.
