I have BeOS 3.x and 4.5, they are both POSIX compatible far as Iknow. To me, BeOS looks like Linux with graphics and sound capabilities built-in.
(OT: Linux also has sound and since version 2.2 also graphics built-in if you select them...)
I don't know about sh (though it uses a "Terminal" program which isprolly compatible), but it does have a version of GCC with it, so all tools should be in place (4.5 is better than 3.x because GCC, and its tools, is in the path).
So, you could just get the GCC and GPC sources and try to build it. Perhaps it will just work, or there will be only minor issues that can easily be solved. And if you succeed, you can upload the binary to Agnes. :-)

But the only standard way of accessing sound in Linux costs $$$ :) (OpenSound, open, cha! Right!).

I'd love to :) I'll post as soon as I have any results. I wish I had a Mac Performa 6360 (6460? I forget which one), it runs the PowerPC version of BeOS (BeOS is on a hybrid CD), would be cool to have a PPC GNU Pascal with assembler and everything :)
See ya! Orlando Llanes
