Hi,

I'll have to do some "socket programming" or interprocess communication
over a TCP/IP LAN. There is no problem as long as I can use BSD system
calls, but the big boys have decided that we will write only SysV software
(no BSD system calls allowed).

So, is there any method to do socket programming under Apollo's SysV ?
For example, is there a some sort of a socket library I can include in
my software or can I use SysV Transport Interface (according to my
knowledge I should have streams based TCP/IP-stack if I want to use
Transport Interface (am I wrong or am I wrong, and is there such a stack
for Apollo ?)).

I'm running SR10.2 on one Domain Series 3500 and on four 2500s and we
use SysV environment.
