If you have an old "tar", you can get the sources via "cat ssys* >> ssys.tgz" "gzip -cd ssys.tgz | tar xvf -" TfH PS : if you have problems getting your way through a simple shell script, you may have a rough time porting the IP stack to a new OS : good luck ! > > 2) I am looking at the BSD IP stack as a candidate for porting to VXworks, to replace the > native stack.
