HAs anyone actually gotten the Uipc socket driver to work? I tried installing it, and ran into these problems. 1. It does not know about a struct timeval (last argument to select); instead, it takes number of seconds. This was simple enough to fix when found. 2. Every call that is supposed to take a sockaddr instead assumes that it will be passed a pointer to a filename (a sockaddr is a structure with a short in front of a filename. 3. No matter what I do it seems to wait forever in accept() 4. The unix domain sockets act just like files, and can have data written out to them just like a normal file, and then that data will stay in and can be read multiple time like a regular file (this might be related to 3 :-) Has anyone gotten this package to work with programs that assume standard BSD socket routines? Has anyone gotten this to work with DNET? Michael -- Michael michael@stb.info.com denwa!stb!michael anes.ucla.edu!stb!michael "Space is an illusion; disk space doubly so"

Don't I wish! I ran into the problem that DNET uses raw mode. This package doesn't support raw mode (or didn't last time I checked). Anybody else having any luck? -- brad@slammer.UUCP (Brad Isley) +1 404 841-4169 Work +1 404 925-9663 Home
