                     21: 
                     22: The code from Pimd-dense is heavily based on the PIM-Sparse Mode daemon
                     23: implementation by Puneet Sharma and Charley Liu (USC), Ahmed Helmy (SGI/USC),
                     24: and Pavlin Ivanov Radoslavov (USC).  For more info on PimD-Sparse, see the

                     26: 
                     27: Use of PimD-Dense for multicast routing requires a separate facility for
                     28: unicast routing such as (1) static routes via the UNIX <I>route</I> command,
                     29: (2) RIP routes via the standard UNIX <I>routed</I> routing daemon, or
                     30: (3) other dynamic unicast routing protocols such as those provided by the
                     31: <A HREF="http://www.gated.org/">GateD</A> multiprotocol routing daemon.<P>

                     35: 
                     36: PimD-Dense is currently <I>ALPHA</I>-version software that yet requires
                     37: extensive testing.  If you choose to use it, information about any
                     38: bugs or problems sent to 
                     39: <A HREF="kurtw@antc.uoregon.edu">kurtw@antc.uoregon.edu</A> would be
                     40: greatly appreciated and will be investigated ASAP.<P>
                     41: 
                     42: PimD-Dense should compile and run on most UNIX varieties, including
                     43: FreeBSD, BSDI, NetBSD, SunOS, IRIX, Solaris 2.5, Solaris 2.6, and Linux
                     44: (however it has not yet been tested on all these).<P>
                     45: 
                     46: Many current version of the IP MRouting kernel code requires patches
                     47: to correct certain bugs in order to work correctly with PimD-Dense.
                     48: Before using PimD-Dense, you should apply one of the current
