A beta version of sysv ipc is now available. Messages, semaphores and shared 
memory are implemented. It was tested with linux-0.99 but should work with 
linux-0.98p4. The patches are relative to 0.99.

FILES:
You can get ipcbeta.tar.Z from tsx-11.mit.edu pub/linux/patches/ or
sunsite.unc.edu pub/Linux/Incoming/. 
Untar ipcbeta.tar.Z to get a directory ipc. There is a README file in 
ipc/ that describes installation. The subdirectory ipc/test contains 
user programs and documentation.

COPYING:
The files are distributed under the GNU copyleft. There's a copy in the 
file ...src/linux/COPYING with the linux distribution.

Send any comments/suggestions/questions to me at bala...@cis.ohio-state.edu

Merry Winter Solstice!

I downloaded the ipc extentions to linux 0.99[.1] and installed them
according to instructions, but the make failed on the .../src/linux/ipc
Makefile.  After browsing through the IPC Makefile I discovered it is
a copy of the .../src/linux/Makefile, with the two-line change to make
ipc compile in (ARCHIVES and SUBDIRS changes).  There appears to be no
Makefile for the ipc directory.  Has anyone else run across this, and is
there a reliable fix?  I hesitate to throw together my own Makefile for
a package which will become part of the kernel, since any mistakes I
make might not show themselves until sometime down the road, when I least
expect (and can least afford) it.

Many thanks ahead of time!

And many thanks to Linux, et al for so many neat toys to play with :-).
As soon as I can wean myself from Wing Commander II and SimCity I'll be
rid of DOS forever! (at least at home ...)

Jean.

Sorry I put the wrong Makefile in ipcbeta.tar.Z. I've fixed the file
on sunsite and sent the correction to tsx-11. Here it is (its pre 0.99)
