It looks like GUSI (Grand Unified Socket Interface) has finally been released. Interestingly, there's a new PThread emulation package. It might be nice to convert a fair chunk of the "external resource" code (filesystem, sockets, etc.) of the mac vm to use GUSI, for the sake of easing portability. GUSI is very freely redistributable.
Cheers, Bijan Parsia.
I got this off the MacTech (http://www.mactech.com/) site:
GUSI 2, a free[*] POSIX, sockets, and pthreads emulation library for MacOS, is now available on
ftp://sunsite.cnlab-switch.ch/software/platforms/macos/src/mw_c
The main distribution for CodeWarrior Pro 5 and MPW compilers (SC[pp] and MrC[pp]) is in GUSI_20.sit.bin, extra libraries for CodeWarrior 4 are in GUSI_20_CWPro4.sit.bin
Enjoy Matthias
