Sounds like somebody with access to both BSD & SVR3 would be performing a great service by implementing a "sockets on top of STREAMS" library and releasing it into the public domain or otherwise make it readily available. I know that The Wollongong Group has already implemented such a library for System V and is selling it (for big bucks?) thereby demonstrating the feasibility of this approach. Any takers? -- Mark Fox Applix Inc., 112 Turnpike Road, Westboro, MA 01581, (617) 870-0300 uucp: {ames,rutgers}!harvard!m2c!applix!mark
