            FASTLINK Portability Information for AIX

AIX is the operating system for some IBM workstations.

FASTLINK ports fine to AIX, but some minor changes
to the Makefile are necessary for compilation.

Change 1. Use the xlc compiler, instead of gcc. Change the
line

	CC = gcc
to
	CC = xlc

Change 2.  Uncomment the line

	SYSDEP = -D_POSIX_SOURCE



FASTLINK user, Helge Sachau, has contributed a wonderful document
explaining how to port the LINKAGE auxiliary programs to AIX.
You can find this document as sachau.ps in the subdirectory 
aix (under fastlink). Thanks Helge!
