Hi!

It's time to start the SNMPv1/v2 implementation stress test. I moved
my current scotty sources to:

ftp://ftp.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de/pub/local/tkined/scotty-1.1.tar.gz

This release contains the SNMPv1/v2 implementation done by Sven
Schmidt (vschmidt@ibr.cs.tu-bs.de). But it runs here and talks to
cisco, HP, DEC, ISODE and CMU agents.

A short summary of the syntax of the SNMP commands is in the file
snmp/README. Note, this is not an implementation of snmptcl as
announced by M. Rose and K. McCloghrie. (At least it is very unlikely
because we have not read their book.) Some ideas were inspired by a
draft describing a Tcl SNMP API written by Glenn Trewitt and
P.H. Kamp. We would like to thank them for sharing their ideas with
us.

Please report all bugs and problems either to this list or directly to
me. We also appreciate any comments on our tcl/snmp interface. Sample
code on how to use it can be found in the files tkined/snmp* and
tkined/library.tcl.

To use the improved SNMP browser, you have to fix a bug in tkined
which affects cascaded menus. The patch is in:

ftp://ftp.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de/pub/local/tkined/tkined-1.0.patch3.gz

This patch also fixes the 'ined member' command which can now be used
to add or remove objects to or from a group. I did not decide how I
will support this within tkined, but it should be easy to do now.
