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.

Many large networks contain a mixture of operating systems. PaperCut will track printing not only from Windows systems but also from Macintosh, Linux and Unix workstations. Please take a look at our cross-platform solution PaperCut NG. We get a number of questions on PaperCut's pricing. We price PaperCut based on the number of network users, as we feel that this factor is a fair reflection of an organization's IT budget. It ensures that organizations of all sizes can afford PaperCut.

The authors have compiled and tested PostgreSQL on the following platforms (some of these compiles require gcc):

Yes. Many GMT users with PCs simply install Linux in addition to Windows and boot either operating system. If you do not have or want to install a UNIX operating system on your PC, there are two ways to go: Run a UNIX environment on top of your other operating system. Under Windows you could install Windows Services for UNIX (formerly Interix and OpenNT), which gives you a free, POSIX-compliant environment with the usual UNIX tools (shells, awk, grep).

No - not at all. It does not matter what make or model your computer is or what software you run - our servers and webspace work with every type of computer and software without a problem.

The Tcl extensions provided by the Scotty package run on most UNIX systems that support Tcl7.6 and Tk4.2 or Tcl8.0 and Tk8.0. The default Makefiles are written in a way to make use of dynamic loading and the Tcl package system. Scotty is regularily tested on SunOS 5.5, SunOS 4.1.X, IRIX 6.4 and Linux 2.0.X systems. Note, some UNIX versions (e.g. SunOS 4.1.X) require systems specific changes when compiling the sources. Please read the porting.

On Linux or Unix systems, if you have installed Java JDK 1.4, then you can take advantage of its -Djava.awt.headless=true option to start OC4J without an X11 server running or the DISPLAY environment variable set. Here is an example of how to start up a standalone version of OC4J which contains MapViewer: sh> java -Djava.awt.headless=true -jar oc4j.jar In terms of functionality, there is no difference. However, the packaging is different. The mapviewer.

this point, other Unix shells such as Bourne-shell and C-shell do not recognize Ch program unless the following statement is included as the first line of the Ch program #!/bin/ch or #!/bin/ch [options] The above Ch shell identification line is not needed if you run a Ch or C program within the Ch shell. You may also modify the source code of other shells so that they can recognize C program and pass it to the Ch shell.

XEmacs is regularly tested on Linux, Solaris, SunOS, HP/UX, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, BSD/OS aka BSDI, Tru64 aka DEC/OSF, SCO5, and probably others. It should work on all versions of Unix created in the last 10 years or so, perhaps with a bit of work on more obscure platforms to correct bit-rot.
