Recently attempted to compile gnucpio under SCO's SDS for UNIX 3.2.2. (I'm actually running it under ODT 1.1.) Two questions: 1) The linker can't seem to find bcopy, though it appears in the man pages as BCOPY(K). Is this the same routine? If so, how does one access it? (Yeah, I know, I could simply define BCOPY_MISSING.) 2) The online man pages indicate that alloca is present (no command group indicated). Once again, how does one access it? ----------- uunet!media!ka3ovk!raysnec!shwake shwake@rsxtech

bcopy(K) is a kernel call, not a libc function.
Try using
#define bcopy(s,d,c) memcpy(d,s,c)

use -lPW to get alloca(S).
