- Hehe. Your best bet would probably be my mailbox from last year and early
- this year (as I beta'ed ixemul). But I'm not letting that loose.
-
- The routines in the library are in "gcc:include/sys/syscall.def" which comes
- with every SOURCE release of IxemLib.
-
- You can get an approximate list of functions by "ar tv gcc:libs/libc.a",
- although some of those lines will have functions not listed, and some functions
- not listed are present.
-
- A list of all external references is "gcc20:lib/gcc-lib/amiga/2.1/syscalls.c.x"
- which came with 2.1.
-
- I was porting some VERY heavy Unix code while I was testing IxemLib, and if
- the code is BSD-derived, it does a very good job. It falls down on some of
- the POSIX'isms and SVR4'isms.
-
- The latest version of ixemul.library is in the pdksh port that Markus did,
- with a current version of 39.41. Highly recommended. It is also available
- for BMS from adastra.cvl.va.us in its own archive.
