specweb99_1.02_virtual_client_src.alt
-------------------------------------

This distribution contains a set of alternate sources that have been 
approved by the SPEC Web Subcommittee that may be used in place of the 
current specweb99_1.02 sources.  The changes provide support for 
multiple virtual clients per client machine.  The client code allows 
the specification of multiple "real" or "logical" ipaddresses.  In some 
instances this may allow a client system to generate more load than if 
a single ipaddresses is used (See: README.ip.txt).

You can unpack this distribution in your existing specweb99_1.02 directory,
it will create a directory: specweb99_1.02_virtual_client_src.alt.  It is
recommended that you save a copy of your existing specweb99_1.02 directory 
tree and/or save the original versions of all *.c, *.h, and configure.in 
files before replacing them with the src.alt files.  To help with this an 
example UNIX script to save the original files and install the alternate 
sources is provided in: Install_src.alt.sh.  An example un-install script 
is in: Uninstall_src.alt.sh
