strcompat 0.9.2.2 Released

[Brian F. G. Bidulock]

strcompat-0.9.2.2 was released January 6, 2004.

This is the second separate release of the OpenSS7 STREAMS
Compatibility Modules that were formerly present in the Linux
Fast-STREAMS streams-0.7a.2 release package. These
compatibility modules provide source level compatibility with
AIX, HPUX, OSF/1, MacOT, Mentat, SUX, Solaris, SUPER/UX, IRIX,
LiS, UnixWare and SVR 4.2 STREAMS. The package contains all the
necessary manual pages and other documentation in an autoconf
tarball.

The STREAMS Compatibility Modules package provides the ability
for both Linux Fast-STREAMS and Linux STREAMS to exhibit source
level compatibility with a wide range of UNIX STREAMS
implementations. Also, it provides source compatibility with
Linux Fast-STREAMS for LiS, and LiS (source and some 2.18.0
binary) compatibility for Linux Fast-STREAMS. The objective of
the package is to provide source level compatibility with a wide
range of UNIX STREAMS implementations permitting drivers and
modules to port easily to Linux Fast-STREAMS from any other
STREAMS implementation, making it possible to release drivers
and modules from a single UNIX code base with minimal localisms
for Linux.

This release is available as a tarball. See the OpenSS7 Project
downloads page http://www.openss7.org/download.html for the
autoconf tarballs. Also, see the package page
http://www.openss7.org/strcompat_pkg.html for SRPM and RPM
releases.

See ChangeLog and NEWS in the release for more information.
