Can anyone elicidate the differences (if any) between ISC 386/ix Host-Based TCP/IP and SCO UNIX V.3 TCP/IP ? I wish to use an RCP compiler tool from Netwise on a 386/ix system. This compiler produces code for client/server stubs based on a description of alibrary. The produced code uses Netwise's own network library, which in turn, uses the native OS TCP/IP socket library. Currently, Netwise offer the product on SCO UNIX V.3. I am wondering what work would be involved to get the generated code to run on ISC UNIX. Since the CPU architecture is the same, and the only incompatibility I can see is in syntax and semantics of the socket libraries on the two OS's. Can anyone highlight the differences for me ? Even simple information like "ISC is Wollongong, SCO's is XXXX" would be helpful.

The irony of it is that ISC now owns Lachman and has done so for about a year. IMHO Lachman is vastly superior to what ISC has(had?). I guess that's what merger mania creates, strange bedfellows :-) :-) +-------------------------------------------------+---------------------------+ |Peter Frenning, Altos Computer Systems, San Jose | ***** TANSTAAFL ***** | |2641 Orchard Parkway, San Jose, CA 95134 | There Ain't No Such Thing | |pfrennin@Altos.COM (..!uunet|sun!altos!pfrennin) | As A Free Lunch (Heinlein)| +-------------------------------------------------+---------------------------+
