[Linux-decnet-user] latd 1.23 released

[Patrick C. <pa...@ty...>]

This is a bugfix release of LAT, mainly aimed at non-intel architectures and
reverse-LAT services (eg printing).

I have been testing using LAT as a printer service and it now actually seems to
work, so there's an example script included to show you how to set up a printer
service from VMS to Linux using LAT. (of coure, you can also use DECnet for
this).

For those that missed out on latd 1.22, don't worry, it was merely an internal
(and Debian) release that tidied some code areas and introduced a new bug -
which is now fixed !

The changelog looks something like this:

  * Zero local connid in disconnect packets so that we don't upset VMS & some DECservers.
  * Fix some alignment problems in latcp on sparc.
  * Fix some double increments that break incoming reverse-LAT on some architectures.
  * Fix incoming reverse LAT connect packet that was broken in 1.22.
  * Include example script for using latd as a print server.
