A quick question to my fellow travelers,
Does the Unix PC operating system support the 'sockets' inter-process
communication facility? I understand that this is primarily a feature of BSD
unix, but our little OS is a bit of a mutt |-}.
I ask because I would like to try to implement the FSF 'screen'
utilities which anticipate these capabilities. BTW: I am running 3.51m on a
7300 if it makes any difference.
Later,
Fritz (jlowrey@skat.usc.edu)

The WIN/3B ``Enhanced'' TCP/IP software for the 3B1 has emulation for the BSD 4.2 socket IPC. -- Bruce Lilly bruce%balilly@Broadcast.Sony.COM

I understand that this is primarily a feature of BSD >unix, but our little OS is a bit of a mutt |-}. The Unix PC supports SysV IPCF (It uses message queues, as opposed to sockets.) If you look hard and long enough, I believe you can find a socket implementation for the Unix PC, though. NPN
