- SEAlink/SYSV and SEAlink/BSD support full pathnames locally (but not in
- the file name transmitted to the remote SEAlink program).
-
- The only known bug at this point is really a flaw in the original design
- of the protocol; rather than using time measured in seconds starting in
- 1970, the design called for time measured in seconds starting in 1980.
- Since then the protocol definition has been changed to reflect the
- "real" standard. At this point I haven't worked out a method to
- determine which time is used in a particular SEAlink implementation.
-
- Be sure to check the #defines in sealink.c for compiling on different
- systems. Note that with Ultrix v1.2, you must use BSD/V7 functions, NOT
- the System V emulation -- it simply will not work correctly. Also be
- aware that getopt.o is expected to be in the standard library; if it
- isn't there are PD versions available from many sources (including
- my system, clmqt, see address below).
-
- The makefile supplied (sealink.mk) is specific to XENIX for 80286-based
- machines and will have to be modified slightly for other systems. In
- most cases a simple "cc -O sealink.c -o sealink" will do what you need
- after you have checked the compile-time switches in the code.
-
- NOTE: this program will probably not work with cu!
