- Hi,
-
- Just had a conversation with a consultant regarding POSIX. According to
- this consultant if I compile a POSIX program with a POSIX compiler the
- resultant binary will run on any machine that supports the POSIX std. !
-
- I found this very amusing. For example if I compile on my SUN Sparc II
- the binary can be copied unmodified to my HP 730 Snake box and run
- unmodified ! Amazing story 31b !!!
-
- Has anyone done this ?
-
- Rob.
