[comp.sys.hp] 300/800 Incompatibilities

ryan@sjuvax.UUCP (P. Ryan) (09/07/88)

Problem 1.

I worked at Goddard Space Flight Center this past summer converting Fortran
code from an HP A900 to 9000 series workstations.  Since both the 835 and
the 3XX machines run HP-UX, they are supposed to be source-code compatible.
They aren't.  There is great difficulty in calling C routines from Fortran
compiled on the 835.  There are even problems compiling the code.  Compiler
directives are different on the two machines.  Has anyone else experienced
these problems?

Problem 2.

The Cdb debugger on both the 318 and the 350 does not handle the 25' monitors
correctly (term=300h).  It scrolls right of the screen in window mode.  This
is particularly frustrating since we are using HP software on HP machines.
Arrrgh!

Any feedback/advice is appreciated.
