Unlike z/OS, the POSIX environment in CMS is integrated; it's not a separate subsystem. With an appropriate stage, the PIPE command can get to any part of CMS. Specifically, those stages can call the BPX1 CSLs to do whatever you want. Google is your friend. There appears to be a gcc port (gccmvs) that works on CMS. There is also a C compiler available from Dignus. > Are there Pipelines drivers for POSIX sockets? What do you mean by "POSIX sockets"? If you mean AF_UNIX, then no, I don't think anyone has written anything for them. If you mean AF_INET, then see TCPCLIENT and TCPLISTEN. The 'storage' stage in Pipes can also access memory directly.
