- My department publishes a book called "Portability Guide for IBM C",
- order number SC09-1405-00. If you look in it, you'll find guidelines
- about porting from one IBM platform to another, but nothing about
- porting from generic Unix -> AIX.
-
- I personally think this kind of information would be of great interest
- to the AIX community and should be covered in the Portability Guide.
- If you agree or have specific C-related porting topics
- that you feel need to be explained, please post here or respond to
- my ID. I can't promise that the book will be updated or will include
- this kind of information in the future, but it's more likely the more
- interest there is.
