Karrels) Newsgroups: comp.archives Subject: [comp.lang.c] source for source Followup-To: poster Date: 22 Aug 1994 12:44:43 +0200 Organization: Math & Computer Science Divison, ANL NNTP-Posting-Host: rubb.rz.ruhr-uni-bochum.de X-Url: ftp://gatekeeper.dec.com/archive/.0/BSD/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-1.1.5.1-RELEASE/tarballs/srcdist X-Batch-Name: archsave.1994-08-13 X-Original-Date: Sat, 13 Aug 1994 02:48:57 GMT Archive-Name: auto/comp.lang.c/source-for-source I've seen a few requests for source code for some system function or another, and there's an easy answer for all: ftp gatekeeper.dec.com in /archive/.0/BSD/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-1.1.5.1-RELEASE/tarballs/srcdist/ This is a pointer to the source code for FreeBSD, a free UNIX implementation for IBM-PC compatibles. Source for the system libraries, for example, is in lib.a[a-e]. You could also get source from 386BSD, NetBSD, Linux, or any other free UNIX implementation. Hint hint: if you are using MS-DOS and getting frustrated with its limitations, check out FreeBSD! Ed Karrels karrels@mcs.anl.gov
