Now there are more portable API libraries to choose from, such as APR, and IBM Portability Library. For ease of portability across a broad range of platforms, I suggest that we use APR as the portability api. Do folks on the

As an intensely interested bystander, I'll just kick in my two cents here. Posix compliance is a really good idea, since it is so frequently specified by so many corporate and governmental policies and regulations (e.g., AFIPS, if memory serves). Yes, there are some portable API libraries out there that are superior in certain aspects to Posix. But I think the repercussions of not being Posix-compliant are going to cost more than any gains from specific gains by a less ubiquitous library.
