149b50d902SRodney W. GrimesNew ACU's may be added by editing the ACU description table
159b50d902SRodney W. Grimesin acutab.c and writing a ``driver''.
169b50d902SRodney W. Grimes
179b50d902SRodney W. GrimesACU usage can be monitored by defining ACULOG in the makefile.
189b50d902SRodney W. GrimesIf this is done and no phone numbers should appear in the
199b50d902SRodney W. Grimeslog file, define PRISTINE in the makefile.

219b50d902SRodney W. GrimesVariables:
229b50d902SRodney W. Grimes---------
239b50d902SRodney W. Grimes
249b50d902SRodney W. GrimesTip's internal workings revolve around a set of (possibly)
259b50d902SRodney W. Grimesuser defined variables.  These are statically initialized
269b50d902SRodney W. Grimesin vars.c, and from the remote file.
279b50d902SRodney W. Grimes
289b50d902SRodney W. GrimesNote that adding or deleting variables requires tip to be completedly
299b50d902SRodney W. Grimesrecompiled, as indexes into the variable table are used to avoid
309b50d902SRodney W. Grimesexpensive lookups.  These defines are set in tip.h.
319b50d902SRodney W. Grimes
329b50d902SRodney W. GrimesCommands:
339b50d902SRodney W. Grimes--------
349b50d902SRodney W. Grimes
359b50d902SRodney W. GrimesThe command dispatch table is defined in cmdtab.c.  Commands
369b50d902SRodney W. Grimesmay have attributes such as EXPerimental and PRIVileged (only
379b50d902SRodney W. Grimesroot may execute).

439b50d902SRodney W. GrimesRecent changes about Jan 82
449b50d902SRodney W. Grimes
459b50d902SRodney W. GrimesA new, improved version of tip is now available.  The most important
469b50d902SRodney W. Grimesaddition is the capacility to specify a phone number with tip.  The
479b50d902SRodney W. Grimesdefault baud rate is 1200.  To use it do:
489b50d902SRodney W. Grimes
499b50d902SRodney W. Grimes	tip phone-number
509b50d902SRodney W. Grimesor
519b50d902SRodney W. Grimes	tip -300 phone-number
529b50d902SRodney W. Grimes
539b50d902SRodney W. Grimesfor 300 baud.
549b50d902SRodney W. Grimes
559b50d902SRodney W. GrimesA ~^Z command has been added to tip as well.
569b50d902SRodney W. Grimes
579b50d902SRodney W. GrimesA new cu program is available that interfaces to the tip program.
589b50d902SRodney W. GrimesIt attempts to give the same user interface as cu but it is really
599b50d902SRodney W. Grimesthe tip program so you have all the advantages of tip.  This allows
609b50d902SRodney W. Grimescu (actually tip) to search for a free ACU instead of having the
619b50d902SRodney W. Grimesuser specify which one he wants.
