- Short: 'unix emulation' library for SAS/C
- Uploader: enrico@com.unipr.it (Enrico Forestieri)
- Author: David Gay dgay@di.epfl.ch, Enrico Forestieri
- Type: dev/c
- Requires: util/misc/fifolib38_2.lha, util/shell/APipe_37_7.lha

- This is the unix compatibility library which I used for porting
- various packages (ghostscript, ghostview, xfig, xv, xdvi, tar).
- The library is written for SAS/C 6.55+ and provides a more unix-like
- environment for programs compiled with it, along with a number of C
- functions which I needed to compile the above programs. These are
- either new or replacements for similar functions in the SAS/C library
- (where these functions lacked some features or were buggy).
- The library has also support for programs using sockets, but you need
- also AmiTCP as it relies on bsdsocket.library to provide this
- functionality.
-
- In the scc directory of this archive you can also find a front end to sc
- which uses a semi-unix syntax. It is very useful if you use a Makefile
- written for GNU make as it solves a small problem related to passing
- quoted arguments from GNU make to programs not using ixemul.library.
