159b50d902SRodney W. GrimesNew ACU's may be added by editing the ACU description table
169b50d902SRodney W. Grimesin acutab.c and writing a ``driver''.
179b50d902SRodney W. Grimes
189b50d902SRodney W. GrimesACU usage can be monitored by defining ACULOG in the makefile.
199b50d902SRodney W. GrimesIf this is done and no phone numbers should appear in the
209b50d902SRodney W. Grimeslog file, define PRISTINE in the makefile.
219b50d902SRodney W. Grimes
229b50d902SRodney W. GrimesVariables:
239b50d902SRodney W. Grimes---------
249b50d902SRodney W. Grimes
259b50d902SRodney W. GrimesTip's internal workings revolve around a set of (possibly)
269b50d902SRodney W. Grimesuser defined variables.  These are statically initialized
279b50d902SRodney W. Grimesin vars.c, and from the remote file.
289b50d902SRodney W. Grimes
299b50d902SRodney W. GrimesNote that adding or deleting variables requires tip to be completedly
309b50d902SRodney W. Grimesrecompiled, as indexes into the variable table are used to avoid
319b50d902SRodney W. Grimesexpensive lookups.  These defines are set in tip.h.
329b50d902SRodney W. Grimes
339b50d902SRodney W. GrimesCommands:
349b50d902SRodney W. Grimes--------
359b50d902SRodney W. Grimes
369b50d902SRodney W. GrimesThe command dispatch table is defined in cmdtab.c.  Commands
379b50d902SRodney W. Grimesmay have attributes such as EXPerimental and PRIVileged (only
389b50d902SRodney W. Grimesroot may execute).

449b50d902SRodney W. GrimesRecent changes about Jan 82
459b50d902SRodney W. Grimes
469b50d902SRodney W. GrimesA new, improved version of tip is now available.  The most important
479b50d902SRodney W. Grimesaddition is the capacility to specify a phone number with tip.  The
489b50d902SRodney W. Grimesdefault baud rate is 1200.  To use it do:
499b50d902SRodney W. Grimes
509b50d902SRodney W. Grimes	tip phone-number
519b50d902SRodney W. Grimesor
529b50d902SRodney W. Grimes	tip -300 phone-number
539b50d902SRodney W. Grimes
549b50d902SRodney W. Grimesfor 300 baud.
559b50d902SRodney W. Grimes
569b50d902SRodney W. GrimesA ~^Z command has been added to tip as well.
579b50d902SRodney W. Grimes
589b50d902SRodney W. GrimesA new cu program is available that interfaces to the tip program.
599b50d902SRodney W. GrimesIt attempts to give the same user interface as cu but it is really
609b50d902SRodney W. Grimesthe tip program so you have all the advantages of tip.  This allows
619b50d902SRodney W. Grimescu (actually tip) to search for a free ACU instead of having the
629b50d902SRodney W. Grimesuser specify which one he wants.
