"Alpha" Version of Kerberos for MacOS

I have an "alpha" version of Kerberos libraries for the Macintosh
running MacOS and MacTCP.  You can get it via anonymous ftp from
athena-dist.mit.edu, in the directory pub/kerberos/dist/900321.MAC.
There are two binhex'd stuffit archives there.  One contains the MPW C
3.0 source, the other contains just the binaries for libraries and the
include files (plus a couple of sample MPW tools, including a UDP time
client).

The stuffit archives require Unstuffit 1.5 (folders within folders
with folders), and there is a binhex'd version of that as well, in
case you just have an older version.

I'd be interested if you let me know if you pick it up and in any
comments you may have.  I'd like to announce it to the
kerberos@athena.mit.edu list early next month.  There is a README file
which describes a whole bunch of the "gotcha's".  Despite these I
think it's quite usable.

You can send bugs to me or to bug-kerberos@athena.mit.edu.  Probably
best to beat me up, at least until I release it more widely.

I have a rough version of Techmail (the recently announced MIT POP
client) with Kerberos if anybody is interested.

And of course, to keep the lawyers happy:
