[comp.sys.apollo] Software conversion, 9.7->10.2, what to look out for

michal@kuhub.cc.ukans.edu (03/30/90)

 As some of you may have experienced, some programs that used to
run an Apollos under 9.7 do not run under 10.2. We have a big
Aircraft design package (125000 lines of code) that seems to throw
sudden fits when running (after being compiled) under 10.2 The
core of the package is written in Pascal although that should not 
hinder it under the new OS. 

 Docuementation for 10.2 says that there are some things that
became obsolete/changed but I could only narrow it down to 
pathnames, reading directory entries, one new pad$_ function.

 My question to all out there who have had to adapt software that
run under 9.7 to 10.2. What one should look out for ? Is there a
manual for obsolete/changed system calls ? I ofcourse come out
from the supposition that the code will run if all the 
system calls are OK. 

 Thanks to all who have responed regarding the chacl function.
I will persue, but first things first.
