We would like to run ISODE under AIX370. It would be nice to know if someone has already tried this, and how things went.
Thanks in advance

I've ported ISODE 6.0 to the 3090 side of an AIX/370 cluster. I'm told my config file works fine on an AIX PS/2 1.1 system as well, so it shouldn't be THAT hard to fix it to use hidden directories to support both flavors at once. Feel free to contact me for details - although as I am leaving for SHARE in New Orleans, I won't be able to reply before August 20 or so.

We brought up ISODE and Quipu under aix/370. It went pretty smoothly. Just
use the makefiles for a system V-ish system. Do not make the mistake of
trying to use -lbsd to get bsd compatibility. That way madness lies ...
The only trouble I had was in the BYTE definitions in pepy, I think it
was. That wasn't hard to solve, though.
ISODE seems to work fine. Quipu also works fine, with the exception that
it can't make outbound connections for some reason. Since the DSA we have
running is a second line dsa it only gets referrals from other dsa's. So,
this hasn't been a big enough problem for me to solve yet... -- Tim
