[net.unix-wizards] Differences between V7 & 32V and Sys III & Sys V

whm.arizona@rand-relay@sri-unix.UUCP (07/15/83)

Does anybody have a list of problems (incompatibilities) that may be
encountered when moving V7 and/or 32V programs to System III and
System V.  ioctl problems are not_ of interest.

Some problems I've encountered are:
	index and rindex are strchr and strrchr respectively.
	The ranlib program is no longer around, ar apparently
	   makes a table of contents.
	The VAX assemblers (don't know about the 11) don't
	   know about numeric labels and jumps.  (i.e. jmp 1f ... 1:)
	   
Either lists or individual items will be appreciated.

				Thanks,
				Bill Mitchell
