OK I'm in the process of trying to get it compiled on Sun.
But when compiling fileunix.c CC can't find prototypes for read, close

standard are they defined ? Why not use fopen, fclose etc.

SunOS sunblade 5.9 Generic sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Blade-1000

Have very little experience on Solaris so I can't tell
