Henrik, The AS/400 is IBM's "almost-mainframe". It ranges in size from desktop to mainframe big but it is not even remotely related to Unix. All its compilers emit p-code and share common interfaces and linkages, so a programmer can write an application in half a dozen languages without compatibility problems. That's the good news. The bad news is that the hardware and the machine instruction set are well concealed from all but the kernel guys at IBM. Any socket set will have to come from IBM. Having said that, my guess is they have one... cheers, -Flash-> Henrik Frystyk Nielsen wrote: > > > Libwww has been built on almost any Unix platform you can imagine including > AIX (which I think is related, right?) - although not all of them recently. > That is why I don't write that it supports all these Unix variants as I > don't know whether they are broken or not.
