This is a shortened (read edited!) version of the self-contained DMS,
ParBENCH31.dms.  This should be the same as the DMS file, but does not
contain any of the misc AmigaDOS stuff to make the ParBENCH disk a
self-contained, bootable floppy.  DMS files are notorious for being
corrupted and BIG!, so I have put together this version as a response to
several requests.

ParBENCH is a ParNET installation kit put together by Vernon Graner of
Commodore Busines Machines.  It uses the CBM Installer and is fully
documented.  ParNET itself is copyrighted by The Software Distillary and
Doug Walker, John Toebes, and Matthew Dillon.  The main improvements
between this ParBENCH and the standard ParNET is the ease of
installation and routine startup of the NET: device.  This package
contains a set of WorkBench tools to boot the network and fix up and
display remote node icons, etc.

Here is the original functionality statement from ParNET:

        The programs in this distribution allow a two-way network
        file  system to be established via the parallel ports  of
        two  Amigas.  A special cable is required to connect  the
        parallel  ports  (see    the    file  CABLE.DOC  in  this
        distribution).  Once connected,  the  NET:    file system
        behaves just like a disk  device, allowing copies, reads,
        writes and so forth.  It  works  with the workbench under
        both 1.3 and 2.0 versions of AmigaDOS.
