Re: Sys V IPC and Cygwin

["Doug Wyatt" <dwyatt at sunflower dot com>]

Hi,

You can get an IPC package for Cygwin at:

http://www.multione.capgemini.fr/tools/pack_ipc/

The file is: cygwin32_ipc-1.03.tar.gz

FOR the LIST - does anyone know where one might get code for
ftok() ?  It's not in the package.

Regards,
Doug Wyatt
