Followup-To: UNIXisms - forks & pipes


Yes, how about adding forks, pipes, and sockets too!

Surely with the sophistication of RISC-OS, it should
not be too dificult?  Possibly as part of the "new"
RISC-OS and associated new release of "C".

This would help students like myself who use UNIX
at university, but can't afford UNIX at home - yet.

I sometimes edit "C" source files at home, and 
transfer them to and from a UNIX box (which can
read/write MS-DOS format discs).  It would be nice
if I could compile, and possibly run some of them
at home.  I have heard of a UNIX lib for the Arc,
but don't know if this would help.

-Regards,
         Gavin.
