	TkSmb - Tk Samba (Microsoft Network) Browser
	  This ReadMe last modified in version 0.7.6f
	  To see newer readme look at README.html

INTRO
 This program provides you a graphical interface for browsing MicroSoft Net.
 On linux I know only 1 program which can do it - 'smbclient'. This program
 works as a X-shell for it, by simple analyzing output of it. So this program
 interface dependent - it can fail easily if output of 'smbclient' is
 changed. Using this program you can easily access different workgroups,
 hosts, and shares on it, mount this shares.

 You can get it on:
	http://194.85.82.97/frtk/ivan/TkSmb  	(frtk-campus.mipt.ru)


REQURED
 If you want to install this program. You must have samba package and
 expect-5.24 (less is suitable too, but not tested). If you use redhat 5.0
 without patchs (upgrades) you possible have glibc-2.0.5c-10.i386.rpm.
 After run the program you will get:

    spawn ???
    failed to get controlling terminal using TIOCSCTTYparent sync byte write:
    broken pipe
    
 in order to make program work you must upgrade your glibc package.
 you can download it from:
   ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/Linux/redhat/redhat-5.0/upgrades/i386
 If you want to be able to mount smb-shares you must have smbfs enabled in
 kernel and 'smbmount' in your path.
