Lanman RPL

Lan Manager RPL
RPL (Remote Program Load) is a horrible, dead protocol from 3Com, Nokia Data, Hewlett Packard and finally Microsoft. The implementation covered here is Microsoft LAN Manager and its relatives, including DEC Pathworks running on VMS.

| Every now and again -- and just the other day -- someone asks me about this ancient work I did while at the University of South Australia . It is still useful to some people who are forced to run dreadful old software, these days typically in Africa from the enquiries I've had. This article is for people who are stuck with fifteen year-old PCs and who have great difficulty getting anything done at all for their workers or students. Some of these users have moved to FreeDOS, but Linux is out of the question because the hardware is too old.
I can't help you with this beyond what is here, written over thirteen years ago. The existence of this document partly explains why I now only do Open Source Software, starting long before I first wrote it :-) Dan 00:46, 1 August 2006 (EIT) | |
