This is version 1.02 of COPS. The two files "cops.102.tar" and "cops.102.tar.Z" are identical, except the latter is in compressed format. The first patch is unneccesary if you use the tar file; it is included in case you have made changes to the original release and wish to apply the patches yourself. The README file is the same as the README file contained in the tar files, and contains somewhat of an overview of the package. Finally, if you prefer a shar format, check out the "shars" directory. They should be identical to the tar files, but might be useful if binary transfers are giving you troubles (the shars are fully patched too, BTW). The last release, 1.01 is in directory 1.01. Good luck, and if you have any questions, write or call me: df@cert.sei.cmu.edu (412) 268-7197 -- dan
