netcat (also called nc) on ia64 anyone?

[richardmoonuk]

Hi,

We've been using netcat to send output to tcp/ip barcode printers on our pa-risc servers. Now we have an ia-64 and there is no netcat available from the hp-ux porting center for this architecture.

Does anyone know where I could get an ia-64 hp-ux 11.31 binary from? 

We use netcat because it prints instantaneously, other options for printing such as hpnpf cause a delay of several seconds.

Thanks

Yes, I did, but none of these answer the problem.

All the best,

How about this? http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Networking/Admin/netcat-1.1.0/ -- It hasn't been touched since 2001 and the binary is for PA, but you should be able to compile from source (instructions in the Installation link)
