Weeks ucf phys >(FDHEIENO@ucf1vm.cc.ucf.edu) > Not in the sense that you can just take programs running on the Sun and then run them on the Amiga. If you have the C source code you can re-compile it (maybe) on the Amiga and then run it. Of course, if it takes advantage of any of the Sun's specific goodies, then you will have to do some rewriting of the software. There is no such thing, really, as a C program. You could specify that a a program was written in C, but since it gets compiled into machine language, just like Pascal, Modula-2, Forth, Fortran, Ada etc., it's almost non-sequiter (sp?) to refer to it as a C program. Besides, it's not the language that's blocking your use of programs from Sun on the Amiga, it's a different operating system and hardware setup. So, to sum up - if you want to run Sun software at home, you'll have to recompile it and perhaps re-write some of it. ###################################################################### # | | Any opinions expressed # # Colin Fox | "...graphics is my life..." | herin reflect only those # # +-----------------------------++ of my employer.
