Hi, y'all netlanders...
We are running applications on an RT and are planning on porting those
applications to AIX/PS2. If anyone has either done such a conversion
or has sufficient knowledge about both AIX's, we'd appreciate some
advice...
On our RT's (model 6150/135's, AIX 2.2.1), we are using:
C language (supplied with AIX, not the advanced one)
curses (standard, NOT extended)
TCP/IP (from C)
Ethernet (raw mode ala biodd.h)
SNA: both SDLC and Token Ring
Unify (Unify Corp. has a PS/2 AIX version)
shell scripts
extensive serial port utilization (ioctl's: raw mode, etc.)
shared memory
messages
perl 3.0
less
sysline
tcsh (anyone know where we can get this?)
...a few questions:
1. what are the porting caveats?
2. what are the performance differences?
3. what other questions should I be asking? :-)
Thanks a bunch, o wise AIX users!!!

Everone here was under the impression that you need BSD csh source to create this. tcsh is released as a set of patches to csh. Anyways, going from AIX/RT->AIX/PS2 should be roughly similar to AIX/RT->BSD porting. Not to rough really, I have been told.
