Code managed with Subversion

2007-11-24T13:15:07Z

As of today most of the historical code is transferred to Subversion code repository.

The conversion could not keep all data and all old states. Some files deleted long long ago (aka moved to Attic) may be lost forever, so do not expect that the old branches may build the binaries.

CVS is still active but should _not_ be used for active development any more.

IANA has assigned srcp to port 4303

2007-01-22T08:02:20Z

SRCP now has it's own portnumber and protocol name.

srcp 4303/tcp Simple Railroad Command Protocol
srcp 4303/udp Simple Railroad Command Protocol
