- I've ported popper v1.831 to SVR4. The major changes were the normal
- BSD vs. System V things like <strings.h>/<string.h>,
- <sys/file.h>/<fcntl.h>, and so forth. There were also some
- file-locking issues (fcntl vs. flock), the shadow password file, and
- so forth.
-
- If there is sufficient interest I will see about putting my port up
- for anonymous FTP somewhere (mudos, unfortunately, is not on the
- Internet). Perhaps when I get more time I will try to package up a
- set of patches and send them off to the UCB popper development team,
- although I'm unsure whether popper is still in active development.
