I have prepared a TR and some source code for an abstract interface for the
internet family socket protocl; Socket Interface (SI) library.

It makes socket look like higher level file io calls.  This is useful
for those who want to do interprocess communication in the UNIXish domain
but do not want to mess with detailed implementations.  

I wanted something like this 2 years ago...so I wrote something for
novice and intermediate systems programmers.  This may be a good supplement
to other TRs on the net and Stevens Network Programming Book.

Features:  IPC and Express messaging with signals.

Available:  anonymous ftp   sa.cacs.usl.edu      (use binary mode) 
    /pub/SI.tar.Z     the C source code
    /pub/SI-TR.tar.Z   a Technical Report on using SI

Please send any comments and/or enhancements to:
