Just because your code runs on UNIX does not mean that it will run unmodified on Windows. In our experience, your code may really have a latent bug (or non-portable code) which simply does not manifest on UNIX. To debug such situations: Set the "stop always" state for the Access Violation exception in the Debug/Exceptions menu. On a segmentation violation, a pop-up dialog box will let you launch the debugger at the location of the fault.

Windows NT® is a more robust operating system, and is designed to handle numerous network connections simultaneously, Windows95® is designed for the desktop. ConferenceRoom will run in Windows95/98 , but the operating system limits the user from running either large or critical applications on ConferenceRoom.

Probably the first place you should look for more GNU tools is at Cygwin toolset. The toolset is a port of the GNU tools to the Windows API, as well as a set of libraries that allow Unix programs to compile to Windows with little or no modification. The project is at http://www.cygwin.com/ Michael Main <main@cs.colorado.edy> has collected together ports of various Unix programming environments and languages to Windows for classes that he teaches. See http://www.cs.colorado.edu/~main/plcd.

Updates, upgrades, and future features - these questions involve updates, upgrades, and other future features.

The Java application communicates with the database via standard JDBC. Another option is to use a J2EE-based remote connection object which enables clients to centralize all database access in any standard J2EE Application Server.

While the system people are friendly, they unfortunately don't have time to answer questions like "How do I use unix?" If you are unfamiliar to unix, we suggest that you buy an introductory unix book. Most any introduction will get you through the basic stuff in a few chapters. (The Nutshell books by O'Reilly & Associates are very good.) The Math department possesses a some manuals covering various application programs.

We sell the ANSI C source code for WGrammar (product #0246). The source code can be compiled and used on any platform that supports an ANSI C compiler, including Macintosh and UNIX.

There are many possible reasons, I will try to list them all, but I could easily have forgotten some: The core would have been larger than the current limit. Verify if there is a limit and try to disable it. In bash, sh and similar shells type ulimit -a to see the current limits and type ulimit -S -c unlimited to disable the limit, finally verify that it has been disabled. In tcsh, csh and similar shells use limit and limit coredumpsize unlimited.

Probably because the developers don't have access to platform XYZ and/or are unfamiliar with development on XYZ. Also, synergy has inherently non-portable aspects so there's a not insignificant effort involved in porting.

Unix is considered the operating system of choice by most hosting professionals. This is due to its reputation as a powerful and flexible, yet very stable OS. Here are a few advantages of Unix: Many web server applications are available on the Internet; both as freeware and commercial software are intended for use with the Unix OS. This includes many of the scripts, written in languages such as Perl, C, C++, Java, and PHP, which are used to add functionality to web sites.

Several companies have committed to offer ODBC support for UNIX systems. Two of them are listed below: Major UNIX database vendors such as Oracle, Informix, Progress and Sybase offer cross-platform capabilities with their native APIs (e.g. not via ODBC), Faircom (CTree) and Sequiter (Codebase) also offer cross platform capabilities with low runtime costs. WM_MOTIF includes a resource compiler that is syntax-compatible with its Windows counterpart.

Yes. One of the attractive features of the MKS Toolkit for Enterprise Developers is that very little (and often no) source code changes are needed when migrating to Windows. This remains true for 64-bit to 64-bit migration. Any application which is 64-bit clean will port virtually unmodified. However, source which is not 64-bit clean will need to be made 64-bit clean before porting with MKS Toolkit for Enterprise Developers 64-bit Edition.

I've just installed a new Shadow Plan or Desktop using the setup.exe installer, and I see two conduits listed in Hotsync Manager's Custom settings!

Yes. We've thoroughly tested a customer's composite application platform, written end-to-end in .NET on Java EE under Linux. At IBM's Chicago Innovation Labs, the ported application performed just as well as the original .NET application, in three user scenarios. Read the full Performance Study for details.

For Unix, most systems require a full pathname to the interpreter. So you cannot start a wish script out as #!wish -f Likewise, many Unix systems have a maximum length of characters that you can put on a #! line. If you exceed this, you do not get the behavior you expect. So do not try to put something like: #!/projects/somethingverylong/bin/wish -f followed by your wish code. Keep the lines short - under 32 characters is recommended.

GMT has been installed on a variety of UNIX systems, including (but not limited to) computers from Cray, Sun, IBM, DEC, HP, SGI, Data General, Apple (Mac OS X), and Next, all running some flavor of UNIX. GMT has also been installed under Linux and MkLinux, which are open source UNIX-like operating systems for PC and Mac OS 9, respectively. GMT also installs under Windows and OS/2. GMT is very portable and should compile on almost any computer.

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.
