I would like to write a posix-compatible interface to C for the Acorn
Archimedes, which is also not a unix machine.  Could someone mail me
with suggestions of how to find out exactly what the interface is please?

Are there standard sample implemntations of a posix library? Something
with stubs which a particular machine could fill out?

Thanks, Graham <gtoal@ed.ac.uk>

	You can buy a copy of the POSIX standard from IEEE for about $40
US. They'll probably ship it abroad, since it's not a dangerous munition. :)
I asked around before I bought my copy - it seems there aren't any machine
readable versions lying around on the net.
