Hi. While sitting here at work using this great UNIX source/debugging tool we use here, again I was struck by the idea of porting it to the Archimedes (for my own use). While I belive 70% of the code would port easily (well written, portable-between-UNIXes code seems to port easily to the Arc using ANSI C), this tool happens to use curses, which ANSI C does not support. Having previously encountered a problem where the code I was trying to port used open/read/write (vs. fopen/fread/fwrite), I'm inquiring as to whether any who's had their machine longer than I have has ported any UNIX-compatible-libraries to the Archimedes. I recall reading somewhere here about a C Library that made porting easier, but there were no details. If anyone has, can they give pointers as to how to get these libraries? Are they ftp'able? Or info-serv'able? Or even shareware? Thanks! Roger rre@ihlpn.ATT.COM
