You just need to be prepared to rework your #includes, and chase stuff that SunOS put in the user headers that's really kernel data structures. I'm not a real SunOS porting guru, these are just my observations based on what I've done. Sun invented most of the NFS stuff, so we should still be pretty compatible. -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] Collector of old Unix hardware.
