Hi, y'all netlanders...

We are running applications on an RT and are planning on porting those
applications to AIX/PS2.  If anyone has either done such a conversion
or has sufficient knowledge about both AIX's, we'd appreciate some
advice...

On our RT's (model 6150/135's, AIX 2.2.1), we are using:

	C language (supplied with AIX, not the advanced one)
	curses (standard, NOT extended)
	TCP/IP (from C)
	Ethernet (raw mode ala biodd.h)
	SNA: both SDLC and Token Ring
	Unify (Unify Corp. has a PS/2 AIX version)
	shell scripts
	extensive serial port utilization (ioctl's: raw mode, etc.)
	shared memory
	messages
	perl 3.0
	less
	sysline
	tcsh (anyone know where we can get this?)
	
...a few questions:

	1. what are the porting caveats?
	2. what are the performance differences?
	3. what other questions should I be asking?  :-)

Thanks a bunch, o wise AIX users!!!

Wow, where did you get this. Everone here was under the impression
that you need BSD csh source to create this. tcsh is released as a set
of patches to csh.

Anyways, going from AIX/RT->AIX/PS2 should be roughly similar to
AIX/RT->BSD porting. Not to rough really, I have been told.
