+               More Comments on the Forthcoming Protocol
+
+We have recently discussed NWG/RFC Nos. 36 and 39 with Steve Crocker,
+UCLA.  Steve has asked that we elaborate on the errors, queries, and
+HOST status that were mentioned in NWG/RFC #39.
+
+Please voice your opinions soon in order to affect the forthcoming
+protocol specifications.
+
+ERROR MESSAGES
+
+     <ERR> <Code> <Command length> <Command in error>
+
+<Code> is an eight-bit field that specifies the error type.  The
+assigned codes are shown below.  <Command length> is a 16-bit integer
+that indicates the length of the <Command in error> in bits.  The
+<Command in error> is the spurious command.
+
+The ranges of <Code> are shown below in hexidecimal.
+
+     00     Unspecified error types
+     10-0F  Resource errors
+     10-1F  Status errors
+     20-2F  Content errors
+     30-3F  Unused
+
+Specific values of <Code> are shown below with their meaning.
+
+     <Code> value   Semantics
+
+         00         Unspecified errors.
+         01         Request for an invalid resource.

+
+QUERIES
+
+     <QRY> <My Socket>
+or   <RPY> <Your Socket> <Text>
+
+The <QRY> is the query indicated in NWG/RFC #39 and <RPY> is the reply.
+The format of <Text> is shown below; also refer to NWG/RFC #36, p. 3.
+
+<Text>::= <16 bit count of relevant connection table entries>
+          <relevant connection table entries>
+
+<relevant connection table entries>::=
+                                     <relevant connection table entries>
+                                     <a relevant connection table entry>
+                                     <a relevant connection table entry>
+
+<a relevant connection table entry>::= <local socket> <foreign socket>
+                                       <link> <connection state>

+HOST STATUS
+
+     <NOP>
+
+An NCP may be up, down, pending, etc.  When an NCP changes its
+state to UP it should send a <NOP> to each remote NCP which
+indicates the NCP is available.  The sending NCP can then
+construct a vector of HOST status from the RFNMs it receives.  An
+NCP receiving a <NOP> can update the availability of the sending
+NCP in its HOST status vector.
