A new version of the DOS/Windows Kerberos source has been released. To 
obtain the source ftp to athena-dist.mit.edu:/pub/kerberos/README.pc, the 
README.pc will direct readers to the current source location. 

This release includes a few minor changes to ./lib/krb/getrealm.c. This 
file contained a typo that caused problems for DOS binaries. This release 
also includes WINSOCK support. The makefile in ./lib/winkrb can be used to 
build the code for either the winsock or LWP API environments.

Please let us know which stacks this release has problems with. So far we 
have only tested it with LWP 4.1 and later.

In the same location the latest sources to leash.exe can be found in 
leash.zip. This version supports either version of the krbdll.dll at 
runtime. The new leash also support a command line option "-kinit". Using 
this will invoke leash with the kinit dialog and exit upon successfully 
obtaining the krbtgt. This makes it easy to provide a standard kinit dialog 
box from other Windows applications by using a winexec().

We have not yet switched to the naming convention proposed by John Gilmore 
of Cygnus. We expect to do this in the future as time permits. If someone 
else completes this please share it.

Paul
