Used it for about 3 days.  Ported low-level libraries, with lots of
system-call-level interfaces, which already live on many platforms,
both Sys-V and BSD oriented.  No sweat at all.  The IBM porting center
had no docs yet, so I used manuals from HP and Sun boxes which I had
brought with me (the manuals, not the boxes).  Worked like a charm.
Some problems with the Xl-Fortran compiler, which is definitely NOT
f77-like.  So, I really don't know what you're talking about, and would
highly appreciate more specific and detailed info.

(Flames right here on the net, please - news I get just about for free,
but I have to PAY real heavy-liras for the e-mail I get!-)
