Hmmmm... I didn't realize that. It is very easy to get working in 4.2 BSD though, there are a few changes in ftp.c to make and a couple of functions to write (the hostent structure only returns one h_addr, not a list of them and strcasecmp() and strncasecmp() need to be worked written). I'm sure that Rick Adams would be interested in your changes. ... Well, he *might* be interested in them, anyway. He's rick@uunet.uu.net. Well, SunOS 3.5 FTP clients don't understand continuation lines (unless we don't have something configured correctly here, in which case I'm sure many people will let me know). You may have been including SunOS as BSD Unix at any rate. Yes, SunOS's FTP client is a major offender. And no, I didn't realize that SunOS isn't BSD Unix. -- --russ (nelson@clutx [.bitnet | .clarkson.edu])|(70441.205@compuserve.com)| (Russ.Nelson@f360.n260.z1.fidonet.org)|(BH01@GEnie.com :-)
