IMPORTANT HINT FOR UPGRADING TO VERSION 2.3.x:
the config-syntax of ALLOW-STRING DENY-STRING GRANT REFUSE has changed:
now regular expressions are used enabling shorter config strings.
the language-files have been extended. Please use the newly provided
language-files or update your old ones.
INTRODUCTION
TWEB is based on the Web500gw implementation by Frank Richter,
Technische Universitaet Chemnitz-Zwickau, which is based on the
go500gw implementation by Tim Howes, University of Michigan.
TWEB was compiled and tested on LINUX with cc, HPUX 9.05 with the
HP-ANSI C compiler, as well as SunOS 4.1.2 with the SUN C compiler.
TWEB was also compiled with gcc on all platforms.
The UMICH LDAP client library version 3.0 or 3.3
( URL:ftp://terminator.rs.itd.umich.edu/ldap/ldap-3.3.tar.Z )
must be installed on the machine (library path and include file
path is configured in Makefile). With QUIPU ICR-2.x the ISODE-
provided LDAP libraries should be used. As such, TWEB only supports
LDAP version 2 with the University of Michigan type C API. TWEB is
also adapted for the OpenLDAP LDAP library, release version 1.1.2
(http://www.openldap.org).
An upgrade to LDAP version 3 and a C API standadized by the IETF
is planned for a not so far away future, most probably in step
with the OpenLDAP package.
TWEB, as provided here is a fully functional core gateway, which
is extended at the author's site by some local features. These
extensions are included into the same code base, so that some
"#ifdef TUE_TEL" or "#ifdef AMBIX" pre-processor statements can
be found throughout the code.
Have a look at the doc sub-directory to get some further documentation.
INSTALLATION
The installation and configuration of TWEB is described in the
GETTING-STARTED file. After making and testing the basic TWEB
you should have a look to file FEATURE-LIST to learn about the
several configuration parameters TWEB provides for runtime
configuration of the program.

SINCE THE CODE IS ONLY THE CORE GATEWAY, WITH SOME PRIVATE EXTENSIONS
NOT INCLUDED INTO THAT DISTRIBUTION, DO NOT DELETE CODE BETWEEN
#ifdef TUE_TEL
#endif
AND
#ifdef AMBIXGW
#endif
IN ANY OF THE SUPPORTED FILES !!!
