*** CAUTION: Self-serving message follows ***
There *IS* a book available on how to write portable UNIX programs across
all versions of UNIX (or at least all the ones that we could find at the
time). It is called "Portable C and UNIX System Programming" by J. E.
Lapin, and it is either available now or will be available very shortly from
Prentice-Hall.
We use the techniques outlined in the book to write all our software and the
results have been terrific.
Disclaimer: I had a part in this book, and Rabbit Software (my employer)
gets royalties from its sale.
