[comp.unix.xenix] streams

	We're running under SCO XENIX V2.3.1 and were wondering if
streams have been fully implemented in this version.  There is a very
large section in the configuration section for the kernal that deals with
streams, but no reference to any system calls.  There is a header file
"sys/stream.h" with quite a bit of information packed quietly away.  But
there is no man page dealing with streams that I could find.  Is this
just another one of SCO's to-be-released things designed to annoy poor
souls? (I checked the release notes, but couldn't find anything on
streams in there, either) So--anyone know if streams are implemented in
XENIX?  I believe there was a discussion on this earlier, but I missed
it...

It is, but you have to pay extra for it.  We have a copy, version 1.0.
I have not tried to use it yet so I cannot report on how well it
works.

There are two add-on options to Xenix 2.3 - "Streams Runtime" and
"Streams Development" and each contain the related manual pages. 
SCO TCP/IP requires that you have Streams Runtime. I think these are
going to be either included or bundled differently in SCO Unix 3.2,
maybe someone from SCO can comment on that.
