> AIX v3 is NOT UNIX. Ask anyone who has managed to use it for more > than an hour. I've only spent a few hours trying to port various Used it for about 3 days. Ported low-level libraries, with lots of system-call-level interfaces, which already live on many platforms, both Sys-V and BSD oriented. No sweat at all. The IBM porting center had no docs yet, so I used manuals from HP and Sun boxes which I had brought with me (the manuals, not the boxes). Worked like a charm. Some problems with the Xl-Fortran compiler, which is definitely NOT f77-like. So, I really don't know what you're talking about, and would highly appreciate more specific and detailed info.
