Porting BSD code to 3090 AIX

[Tom Shott]

I am going to be porting an application from a Sun 386i to a 3090 w/ AIX. I
have never used AIX  before so I am  trying to get  an idea what it will be
like. (What problems w/ the port I`ll have,  what software I shouldn't use,
what public domain software I can use, etc.)

How BSD like is AIX ? What public domain software has been ported already ?
Specifically, has GNU emacs,  make and gcc been  ported  yet ? I  know I`ll
have problems w/  the non  ASCII character  set for some   code that`s been
written. What other kinds of portability problems will I have ?

Who has an AIX anonymous ftp site ?

Please email me responses and I`ll summarize and post.
