   ...any particular UNIX machine? The reason I ask
is that CDC has in fact got 2 possible solutions
for you on the EP/IX operating system for CD4000 machines

   a) A port of the actual SCU product - useful
  for people migrating SCU libraries but somewhat
  "unnatural" as regards "the-unix-way-of-doing-things"
  in terms of maintaining one large library and doing all
   the *COPY kind of work inside iteself as opposed to
   letting the compilers themselves handle the <include>
   statements. The big advantage though is that you can
   still access your old libraries created with SCU under 
   NOS/VE.    

  b) ADCM (Aide-de-Camp Manager) which was designed
  to provide the functionality of SCU but adapted to
  the "Unix-way-of-doing-things" in terms of what the rest
  of the environment expects (lots of smaller compile files
  in a catalog hierarchy suitable for "make" processing etc.)
  This is a product that sits on top of Aide-de-Camp - a product
  available on many UNIX machines and we have been able to port
  ADCM fairly easily to some other machines as a result. This
  product will not however read "old" oldpl's created under
  NOS/VE.

SCU is being ported to EP/IX (the CDC variant of Unix).
The port is written in C, so it should be possible to
port it to other Unix platforms. The main obstacle seems
to be that CDC refuses to do such ports or to provide the
source code to customers. I don't quite get the rationale
behind it; they won't be selling more CD4000 just because
SCU is on it but they chase away potential SCU users from
EP/IX if SCU is not an open systems product.

I have been arguing on VIM/ECODU and in this group for
quite some time. Perhaps it helps if more people start
pestering.

Agreed... and it's been this way too many years.

OK, I'm pestering.... I'd love to see a real tool like SCU on
my U*X box....
