This cdrom includes the source code, executables, documentation and research papers for the Sprite network operating system. Sprite is a distributed systems research project led by Prof. John Ousterhout in the Computer Science Department of the University of California at Berkeley. Besides Prof. Ousterhout, the research team has included Brent Welch, Andrew Cherenson, Fred Douglis, Mike Nelson, Adam de Boor, Mendel Rosenblum, Mary Baker, Bob Bruce, John Hartman, Ken Shirriff, Mike Kupfer, Jim Mott-Smith, Geoff Voelker, and Matt Secor. Many others have also contributed to the system. Nothing on this cdrom is guaranteed to work. This collection of source, executables, documentation and papers was put together in a great hurry. While we were able to test some aspects, much was left untested. Make what use of it you can, but we will not be available to fix problems. =========================================================================== This disc conforms to the level 1 ISO-9660 format with Rock Ridge extensions. If your operating system supports Rock Ridge, you can access the files using the full Unix pathnames. If your system does not support Rock Ridge, the filenames are limited to eight single-case characters, with an extension of up to three characters. Each directory on this disc has a file named 00_TRANS.TBL, that maps the ISO-9660 compliant filenames to the original Unix-style filenames. The programs /util/cd_copy.c and /util/cd_link.c can be used to copy or link the files on the cdrom using the original filenames on systems without Rock Ridge extensions. This cdrom contains the following files and directories: admin: directory for administrative programs, scripts and information boot.txt: file with information about booting the Sprite kernel images docs: directory for documentation ds5000.bt: boot image for Sprite on a DECstation 5000/200 sun4.bt: boot image for Sprite on a SparcStation 2 lib: directory for library files other than source files filename.lst A list of all the files on the disc ls_lR: output from ls -lR, a recursive list of the files on the disc man: directory for manual pages papers: directory for research papers about Sprite readme.txt: file that describes this CD-ROM sprite.txt: file with a history of the Sprite project src: directory for source code for kernel, commands, libraries, etc
