Short: 'unix emulation' library for SAS/C Author: David Gay dgay@di.epfl.ch, Enrico Forestieri Uploader: enrico com unipr it (Enrico Forestieri) Type: dev/c Requires: util/misc/fifolib38_2.lha, util/shell/APipe_37_7.lha Architecture: m68k-amigaos This is the unix compatibility library which I used for porting various packages (ghostscript, ghostview, xfig, xv, xdvi, tar). The library is written for SAS/C 6.55+ and provides a more unix-like environment for programs compiled with it, along with a number of C functions which I needed to compile the above programs. These are either new or replacements for similar functions in the SAS/C library (where these functions lacked some features or were buggy). The library has also support for programs using sockets, but you need also AmiTCP as it relies on bsdsocket.library to provide this functionality. In the scc directory of this archive you can also find a front end to sc which uses a semi-unix syntax. It is very useful if you use a Makefile written for GNU make as it solves a small problem related to passing quoted arguments from GNU make to programs not using ixemul.library.
