I'm the system administrator for a Unisys 6000/70 running dynix/PTX 1.1,
and I need a socket library for the machine.  I was wondering if anyone
out there had written a standard socket library to run on top of streams?

A version running under PTX would be great, but any such pacakage would 
be welcome, or failing that any advice about how to write one would be
helpful.

Anyone know why PTX excluded a socket library? Seems like a useful thing
to have.  At any rate, I've been told PTX 2.0 will have a socket library
again, but I need to put something in place until PTX 2.0 is released.

Thanks, in advance.

Because SVR3 doesn't have a socket library. That means Sequent has to acquire
one from somewhere else, or write it themselves; either way, some decisions
have to be made about how to integrate and some engineering has to be done.
Given that the lack of System V was a major headache for Unisys, I'd bet they
were sufficiently anxious to have a real SVR3 that they weren't about to hold
it up for a non-standard socket library.
