This article refers to Streams and TLI on a Tower running SysVR3. I posted earlier about this topic, and got many excellent replies, thanks. However, in looking through my systems /dev directory, I find nothing that looks anything close to a network clone (as someone put it), such as /dev/net, or /dev/tcp, /dev/ip, /dev/osi_cots, etc... This poses serious problems in using t_open, although the manual pages say, "SUPPORT STATUS: Supported". Could it be possible that this was never implemented on this system? And, if so, how would one go about installing it? I appreciate the help. Andy Biewer

At first glance, this arrangement may seem to be slightly unusual. However, the intent was to allow the TLI code to be maintained by the network development groups that actually used it for products; therefore, it was removed from the OS distribution. --sam +---------------------------------------------------------------+ |Sam Vause, NCR Corporation, Customer Services - TOWER Support | |3325 Platt Springs Road, West Columbia, SC 29169 (803) 791-6953| | vause@cs-col.Columbia.NCR.COM | | ...!uunet!ncrlnk!ncrcae!cs-col!vause | | ...!ucbvax!sdcsvax!ncr-sd!ncrcae!cs-col!vause | +---------------------------------------------------------------+

Oh, My. The path location for the library is hardly intuitive, though. It is /usr/lib/libnsl.a (or)/usr/lib/libnsl_s.a (shared). Sigh. Maybe I should give up and move to a quiet monastary somewhere! +---------------------------------------------------------------+ |Sam Vause, NCR Corporation, Customer Services - TOWER Support | |3325 Platt Springs Road, West Columbia, SC 29169 (803) 791-6953| | vause@cs-col.Columbia.NCR.COM | | ...!uunet!ncrlnk!ncrcae!cs-col!vause | | ...!ucbvax!sdcsvax!ncr-sd!ncrcae!cs-col!vause | +---------------------------------------------------------------+
