>Has anyone done any work on porting Andrew to Solaris 2.1? Has anyone done any work on porting ATK to *any* SVR4-derived UNIX? If so, and if there's more than one place where it's being done, perhaps the people doing it should get together on that (I can easily imagine person A porting it to some PClone running SVR4-for-i386, and person B porting it to Solaris 2.x, and person A and person B having no idea that the other's doing it). Note that the right way to do the dynamic linking stuff for SVR4 is probably to grab the SunOS 4.1[.x] version of the dynamic linking code and proceeding from there (the "dlopen()"/"dlsym()"/etc. interface was actually invented by AT&T, although they never released any implementation until SVR4; Sun just used AT&T's interface for SunOS 4.1[.x]), rather than trying to teach the "do it yourself" code about ELF (the main reason I did the version that used "dlopen()" and company was to *keep* people from trying to teach the do-it-yourself version about ELF). You will probably also want to change the pseudo-tty handling code in "typescript" and "tm" to use SVR4-style pseudo-ttys.
