After having spent time on various System III and V systems, accumulating favorite utilities along the way, I'm finding a goodly number of them non-portable to the CCI Power VI environment, which appears to use a Berkeley style filesystem. These include tree/dtree (for directory tree listings), sqzdir (for squeezing out of null directory slots), and ASD (Automated Software Distribution from the Toolchest). J.E.Lapin's "Portable C and UNIX System Programming" includes source for a 4.2 BSD directory access emulator for non 4.2 systems. Is anyone aware of a counterpart for emulating System III/V systems in code running a BSD-style filesystem? Can anyone recommend any books, documentation, etc. that might assist in these porting efforts? Please E-mail responses. I will summarize for the net. Ray Shwake
