System V IPC Semaphore and Shared Memory emulation routines for NeXT.
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Introduction.
------------

This package is an emulation of shared memory and semaphore routines as
known from UNIX System V.  It is based on the mmap() system call which
provides shared memory on Mach OS. (note that mmap is as yet
undocumented and presumably not supported by NeXT.)

Installation.
------------

If you have the source distribution, run `make install'.
If you have the Installer package (SysVIPC.pkg), just install.

This copies the library "libIPC.a" to "/usr/local/lib"
and the "sys/*.h" header files to "/LocalDeveloper/Headers".
These directories are in the search path of the compiler, so if you
want to use these routines all you have to do is link with "-lIPC".

(For convenience/compatibility with other systems "/usr/local/include"
 is created as a link to "/LocalDeveloper/Headers" if it does not yet exist.)


Implementation notes and limitations.
------------------------------------

The implementation is as good as 100% complete (sometimes even more than
complete).  See SysVIPC-3.5.Announce.rtf for details.

This version (3.5) should work in both POSIX and non-POSIX programs.

See ReleaseNotes.rtf (RTF format) for the version history.
