[comp.unix.aix] QUESTION: CAP on the RS/6000?

matthew@ooc.uva.nl (Matthew Lewis) (01/18/91)

Hello!  I am playing around with an IBM RS/6000, getting a few things
working.  On package I have tried to put together is the Rutgers version of
CAP.  Unfortunately, the BSD mask wears a bit thin when it comes to shared
memory management, it seems.  The include file mman.h does not exist, and I
could not find anywhere in the documentation for the RS/6000.  The onl
place (I think) where this is needed is in atis, but that IS rather
necessary.

Anyone done this port yet?  Or know anything about how to work around this
problem?

Thanks in advance.

As far as I know, no one has done any ports of the ethertalk support
to the IBM RS/6000. I'm not sure whether anyone has tried it, but it
might work with iptalk configurations. Of course that requires a
router with IPTalk support in order to communicate with anything else.

I have successfully ported (wasn't a lot to it [with THIS package) the
entire CAP package supplied with our appletalk/ethernet bridge
(Webster Multigate) + other assorted ethertalk utilities from Melbourne Uni.

  However I'm pretty sure its not from Rutgers.  If you'd like to
know which version it is , mail me later in the week, as my room
may be out of the moving boxes by then :-)
