SUMMARY RDoItR41

	This package consists of Smalltalk-80 Release 4.1 and C code.
The Smalltalk-80 code creates a Smalltalk process which provides a
Socket based server.  The C code talks to that server.  The result is
the ability to execute "rdoit" at a Unix command line, and have the
Smalltalk image "Do It."  (Very similar to the Berkley rsh command.).
I use this package to put the "Launcher" options on my root tvtwm menu.

	A previous version of this code was released on June 14th,
1991 for Objectworks/Smalltalk Release 4.0.  However, there were
sufficient changes in the R4.1 image to justify a new release.  This
release also incorporates some minor efficiency and portability
enhancements.
