For most applications Linux source code is compatible with other Unix systems. It supports almost everything that is available in System V Unix systems and the free and commercial BSD-derived systems. However in the Unix business such claim has nearly no value because there is no way to prove it. In the software development area complete compatibility is required instead of compatibility in "about most" cases. So years ago the need for standards arose, and nowadays POSIX.

Debian developers communicate with other Linux distribution creators in an effort to maintain binary compatibility across Linux distributions. Most commercial Linux products run as well under Debian as they do on the system upon which they were built. Debian GNU/Linux adheres to the Linux Filesystem Hierarchy Standard. However, there is room for interpretation in some of the rules within this standard, so there may be slight differences between a Debian system and other Linux systems.

A#9.1: Strictly speaking, all you need is a C compiler (since UNIX source tends to be in C). However, there are a few programs that can be considered "essentials" for doing ports. All of these are mentioned in the section on "Compiling": ORCA/C, occ, dmake A#9.2: The first thing to watch for is known compiler and library bugs. Soenke Behrens maintains the current ORCA/C bug report list. You should keep the contents of this list in mind when examining the target source code.

Source code is included for everything in the Debian system. Moreover, the license terms of most programs in the system require that source code be distributed along with the programs, or that an offer to provide the source code accompany the programs. The source code is distributed in the pool directory (see What's in the pool directory?, Section 5.10) together with all the architecture-specific binary directories.

this time, the Web4Print software is only available in a Windows-compatible version, but any HTML forms created can of course be viewed on most browsers on any platform.

If your operating system is from Sun or HP examine the Makefile and make any changes indicated inside. Copy the sample configuration file (junkbstr.ini, previously called sconfig.txt and other names in earlier releases) to some convenient place such as /usr/local/lib/junkbuster/configfile or whatever you choose. The sample file has all the options commented out. You can remove the # character on any that you want, but it may be better to leave this until later.

myCitadel Wallet and SecureSwipe are not compatible with Unix or Solaris operating systems. Let us know if you would like us to add it to our requirements.

Debian GNU/Linux includes complete source-code for all of the included programs, so it should work on all systems which are supported by the Linux kernel; see the Linux FAQ for details. The current Debian GNU/Linux release, 3.

Well, not right away. I first need to develop the Windows version. But Windows emulation software is available that runs on a Mac. Behold should be able to run on a Mac under emulated Windows. For example check out Parallels or Guest PC (inexpensive) or Virtual PC for Mac (more expensive). My longer term plans are to convert Behold to .NET so it will ultimately be available on any platform, including Macs and Unix.

Yes, but you are required to run the files provided with the benchmark if you are publishing results. As a general rule, modifying the source code is not allowed. Specific items (the load program, for example) can be modified to port the application to your environment. Areas where you are allowed to make changes are listed in the SPECjAppServer2004 Run and Reporting Rules. Any changes made must be disclosed in the submission file when submitting results.

The MediaPortal source code is about 160MB. However, SVN uses compression so only 66MB need to be downloaded, if you download the needed main trunk only. All other branches should not be downloaded.

Yes it is. LimeWire is open source, which means that anyone can view or change the source code. Please check http://www.limewire.org. You can sign up and obtain the source code there.

Many of the tutorials listed above contain example code for games, however here's a few extra links for full Flash game source.

No. While Julian did try to open up the program by putting it under General Public Licence (GPL) at SourceForge, the project never generated much interest among developers. SpamCop has since been sold to private interests. The SpamCop Reporting and Blocking List services are owned by Ironport Systems, Inc. The SpamCop Filtered Mail Service is owned by Corporate Email Services (CESMail).

No, sorry. Most software companies do not give their customers access to source code. Haxial is no exception.

The source code is for developers. It is an additional download to the Full Install. If you just want to use World Wind and look around, all you need is the Full Install. If you want the source code as well, download both. Once you run the full install, copy the Data directory from your World Wind full install directory into your source directory. World Wind was not designed for Windows Vista but can run on it.

A#2.1: GNO contains components that originate with a variety of flavors of UNIX. These include 4.3BSD, XINU, and SYSV. It is mostly BSD. As of GNO v2.0.6, GNO has become closer to 4.4BSD. Work is in progress to make it as compliant as possible to POSIX 1003.1 and POSIX 1003.2.

Yes. You can download both source code modules (macros) and sample code for use with a Crestron 2-series processor and a source code module, include file, and sample code for use with an AMX Netlinx processor from http://www.kaleidescape.com/support/control-systems.html You can also download a wide variety of templates for Crestron and AMX touch panels.

UNIX is okay; we just can't afford a workstation. At one point there was a way to get around this: The Apple "Macintosh Application Environment" (MAE) version 3.0 allows Macintosh applications to be run in the X-Window environment on Sun's Solaris 2.4 or later and on Hewlett-Packard's HP-UX 9.0 and HP-UX-10.10 or later, and a 30-day demo version was available for free. Unfortunately, Apple discontinued selling this system in May, 1998.

A list of some of the systems that support the MARC 21 formats is at www.loc.gov/marc/marcsysvend.html. The list includes systems that collect, organize and manage MARC 21 records.

The WJ MPR Series PC Card products are compatible with Microsoft® Windows® XP, Windows® 2000 and Windows® CE .NET initially. The Microsoft® Windows® Mobile for Pocket PC and possibly other operating systems will follow.

MKS Toolkit supports standard UNIX facilities for exchanging files between the two platforms, including rcp and FTP. In addition, Toolkit includes standard UNIX utilities for handling bulk file copies (cpio, pax, and tar). To share files, you can use either NFS or Samba. UNIX text files use a line-feed character to indicate the end of a line, while Windows expects both a carriage return and a line-feed in its text files.

A: The entire source code to Dink Smallwood (the game, not the engine) is included. If you copied everything from your CD's "develop" dir, then you'll notice a ZIP file called source.zip in your main Dink dir. It has all the .C source files for Dink. Many of them, just as enemy scripts & weapon scripts, are totally easy to use in your own D-Mod! Make a directory under your main Dink directory called SOURCE and unzip this file into it.

Not yet... but I am working on making the softare public domain, and building a Mac OS X version which may be out in March 2005. The Simulator is not 100% bug free (especially when viewing Saturn very zoomed in or in certain geometries). Try again from a slightly different viewpoint or field of view. There is a bug list that gets worked on every couple of months.

Yes, it is often relatively straightforward to regenerate high-level source from IL. Lutz Roeder's Reflector does a very good job of turning IL into C# or VB.NET.
