I would like to write a posix-compatible interface to C for the Acorn
Archimedes, which is also not a unix machine.  Could someone mail me
with suggestions of how to find out exactly what the interface is please?

Are there standard sample implemntations of a posix library? Something
with stubs which a particular machine could fill out?

Thanks, Graham <gtoal@ed.ac.uk>
