Can anyone elicidate the differences (if any) between ISC 386/ix
Host-Based TCP/IP and SCO UNIX V.3 TCP/IP ?

I wish to use an RCP compiler tool from Netwise on a 386/ix system.
This compiler produces code for client/server stubs based on a
description of alibrary. The produced code uses Netwise's own network
library, which in turn, uses the native OS TCP/IP socket library.

Currently, Netwise offer the product on SCO UNIX V.3. I am wondering
what work would be involved to get the generated code to run on ISC
UNIX. Since the CPU architecture is the same, and the only
incompatibility I can see is in syntax and semantics of the socket
libraries on the two OS's.

Can anyone highlight the differences for me ? Even simple information
like "ISC is Wollongong, SCO's is XXXX" would be helpful.


Paul.
