- People have also compiled it under AT&T sys's and SunOS's.

- Hey, you're the guy with an Apple. Why didn't you post in comp.unix.aux?
- Crapple stuff and cruft is NOT welcome in the Amiga newsgroups.

- Then kindly explain why it DOESN'T work on:
-
- AT&T 3B1 (AT&T UNIX SVR2.* and AT&T UNIX SVR3.*)
- AT&T 3B2 (AT&T UNIX SVR3.*)
- HPUX 7.* (an AT&T UNIX derivative)
- HPUX 8.05 (an AT&T UNIX derivative)
- HPUX 8.07 (an AT&T UNIX derivative)
- HPUX 9.* (at AT&T derivative)
- IRIX 4.0.* (SGI's AT&T UNIX derivative)
- Ultrix (from DEC)
- UTS (Amdahl's AT&T UNIX derivative)
-
- Aw, fergit it, you probably didn't read Matt Dillon's "README" explaining
- the variant of UNIX upon which his DNet will function).

- The fact you're attempting to bring up a BSD-specific program on the braindead
- A/UX system is *NOT* unrelated.
-
- Nonetheless, you may find the following books helpful (in order of priority):
-
- 1) USING C ON THE UNIX SYSTEM, O'Reilly and Associates
- ISBN 0-937175-23-4
- VERY helpful for BSD-to-AT&T porting efforts
-
- 2) C LANGUAGE INTERFACES, AT&T and Prentice Hall
- ISBN 0-13-109661-3
-
- 3) The Design and Implementation of the 3.2BSD UNIX Operating System
- Leffler, et al
- Addison-Wesley; ISBN 0-201-06196-1
-
- 4) The Design of the UNIX Operating System, Maurice Bach
- Prentice-Hall; ISBN 0-13-201799-7
-
-
- Good luck.
