- I know POSIX currently does not include networking. But I have a
- software uses socket, I need to run on VMS POSIX. I think I read
- somewhere socket is supported by X/Portability guide, and Digital
- supports X/portability guide. Does it mean I can use socket calls
- from within the POSIX environment?
-
- If I can't what should be my best try in this case? On VMS there
- are different TCP vendors: CMU, Excelan, Walongong (may be wrong
- spelling). How can develope a portable networking code which should
- run on POSIX environment.
