Its a lot easier for programs to move from UNIX to UNIX if only because the concepts of the underlying system are the same. A Windows program on the other hand will probably make assumptions such as "One machine, One User" or "One IP Address, One User". This and problems such as a tendency to store user data in the program installation directory may cause problems. The GUI system under UNIX is a lot different too - cut and paste being a minor niggle of mine when some of my programs use the UNIX way and some use the Windows way. - Richard. -- _/_/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/_/ Richard Corfield <Richard@Littondale.freeserve.co.uk> _/ _/ _/ _/ Web Page, CV: http://www.littondale.freeserve.co.uk _/_/ _/ _/ Dance (Ballroom, RnR), Hiking, SJA, Linux, ...
