I potentially have to port a code that currently runs on a MIPS RISC CPU UNIX workstation, using an X/Motif GUI, to an IBM PS/2 running OS/2 and Presentation Manager. The code has both C and Fortran in it. I have the following questions: Does the OS/2 Fortran compiler support double precision (64 bit) floating point? Is the C compiler on OS/2 ANSI C ? Does the OS/2 loader have any quirks when it comes to loading objects produced from both C and Fortran? How does the Presentation Manager widget set compare with the X/Motif set? What is the graphics library available on the OS/2 and how does it compare with Xlib? Does OS/2 allign allocated memory on even word boundaries? I currently don't have access to a PS/2 and won't in anytime shortly, otherwise I would be able to answer these questions myself. Any other information/experience you can provide me would be most appreciated. You can e-mail your response directly to me. Thanks in advance, Mark
