国产CPU－龙芯（loongson)BIOS源代码

1.02 release notes (18/07/94)

Crash recovery now supported and the file date is set (which didn't happen
so far.) Added a CREDITS file. Mr. Paul Vixie ([e-mail]; moderator
of comp.sources.unix) is currently reviewing the source in order to resolve
the copyright mess. Shouldn't be a problem.

1.01 release notes (17/07/94)

Wow, how's that, to be accussed of stealing copyrighted code by Mr. Forsberg
himself... (well, it did cause the release to be retracted from 
comp.sources.unix it's a shame). Fortunately it isn't true as anyone (except
maybe Mr. Forsberg) can see for themselves. It seems we now have manual pages
which were contributed by Bart Massey ([e-mail]).
to avoid problems in passing the file through ms-dos machines the archive
now goes as zmXXX.zip where XXX is the version number. So far no technical
changes; only a marked failure to communicate with sz and rz has been noted.
Anybody interested in fixing this is welcome to do so; please mail us the 
changes and they will be incorporated in the next release. I would like to
express my surprise at the ease with which the moderator of a usenet group
can be bullied into retracting other peoples postings. 

1.00 release notes (15/07/94)

Hi there,

This is the very first release of this fresh and unstable Zmodem implementation.

MCS allows you to use and copy/modify this source under the following
conditions:

  - MCS or Jacques Mattheij shall not be liable for any damages arising
    from the use of this code
  - the archive must be distributed as a whole leaving version numbers intact.
    please do not distribute modifications; mail them back to us for inclusion
    in the next release which should follow each other fairly quickly in 
    the beginning
  - you will not use this software for commercial purposes.
    (commercial licenses are available contact us for info)

Yes! that's all the legal stuff you'll be getting from me. I'm a programmer
not a lawyer. (the average piece of freeware these days can be shrunk
to an easy 50% without compression by removing the 200 line copyright message
above each module).

The reason this code and the corresponding documentation were created is
dissatisfaction with the current public domain versions of zmodem and their
documentation. As of this writing the code runs on exactly ONE operating 
system and you are very likely never to have heard of it. (Unite!; runs on
the 386 and better; microkernel etc..) So, this is likely not a plug and
play package but with some help from the world out there and xs4all
(the public internet access point in Amsterdam, The Netherlands) we can
turn it in to one. If someone would like to do a port; has a bug report or
would like to send us a message use any of the possibilities below.
Enjoy it and on to the next release

             Jacques Mattheij.
