- I would like to port our CIF (Caltech Intermediate Form)
- VLSI Layout editor, currently running under SunOS and X11, to NT.
-
- The source consists of about 70 .c and .h files (23 k lines).
- Our editor invokes another program, using pipes to display
- its output on the screen. Some UNIX functions I found in the source:
-
- Procedure "whatis" output
- execv() execv (3V) - execute a file
- signal() signal (3V) - simplified software signal facilities
- pipe() pipe (2V) - create an interprocess communication channel
- dup2() dup2 (2V) - duplicate a descriptor
- sleep() sleep (3V) - suspend execution for interval
-
- a) Is it possible to port this to NT, whithout making a megatask of it?
-
- b) Is the current NT-release sufficient, or should I wait for the 'beta'?
