The last hurrah for the POSIX  E stuff was arguably back around the V7.2-6C1 and V7.2.6C2 releases; a   long time ago, now.   /    Here are the HP statements around this work:   -      <http://h71000.www7.hp.com/portability/>   D    Most of the pieces I've hauled across recently tended to involve G fixing latent bugs, or hacking out old fixes for now-present OpenVMS C  A RTL features -- well, I never had the patience necessary for the  C autoconf stuff, so I often just replaced the autoconf stuff with a   brute-force DCL-based build.  I    The autoconf mechanisms can require hand-work even on Linux flavours,  G to adjust the results into a shell script that's buildable.   I'm told  E that a side-built variant of even the autoconf tool was working in a  E fashion compatible with Linux for somebody that was trying to follow  I that path.  read: it was mostly working, with hand fixes required within  H the resulting configure script.  autoconf itself is functional on a GNU F platform, but some folks view it as rather inelegant as it contains a 5 number of platform-level assumptions.  But I digress.   D    If the OpenVMS release involved is older, then yes, there can be = various difficulties around porting Unix C code into OpenVMS.     J >>                                                 Interesting that nobodyG >> has thought of adding the functionality to a Unix to make it compile  >> link and run VMS code...  > G > Like what?  Name one package available on VMS in source that does not I > already have an equivalent under Unix that works as well if not better?   I    You're quite right -- very few folks ever get stuck at the package or  D layered product level, or at the operating system level.  There are 1 almost always options and alternatives available.   F    That's not true at the application layer, however.  There are many G such trapped applications around, and this situation isn't specific to  E any operating system.  Applications can depend on various underlying  G packages and packages that may or may not be available, and on various  D APIs, and these can be quietly running unmodified for ten or twenty H years.  In some cases, the source code may or may not be available, and I a port may or may not be cost-effective.   But the business can and does  H depend on these applications.  I know of a number of these applications H that would be difficult to port -- no would be intractable, but most of H these would be expensive.  Releasing an application for even an OpenVMS G upgrade can be expensive, and can involve re-testing, requalification,  G and multiple interlocking product upgrades -- porting these extrenched  C applications to another platform is yet more work, due to platform  
 dependencies.   F    [For some hardware widgets I deal with, I'm stuck with a Microsoft G Windows 95 PC requirement, as the associated device-interface software  G can't be upgraded.  Once those widgets -- with a decade-or-so lifetime  I -- get replaced and tossed out, so will the Windows 95 Intel Pentium 120  C PC, and the spare PC.  There are those organizations that have far  6 larger investments in old software and hardware, too.]  G    Newer products and environments are moving up the software stack in  E terms of their features, requirements and dependencies, all of which  I makes the resulting code more portable and more maintainable.  But older  B applications and particularly platform-specific applications will  continue to exist.   ------------------------------  % Date: Wed, 08 Nov 2006 23:15:08 +0100 / From: Paul Sture <paul.sture.nospam@hispeed.ch> A Subject: Re: An increasingly-rare island of corporate inspiration J Message-ID: <paul.sture.nospam-AAE7EE.23150808112006@mac.sture.homeip.net>  / In article <4reoouFqq3kmU1@mid.individual.net>, *  bill@cs.uofs.edu (Bill Gunshannon) wrote:  L > In article <paul.sture.nospam-40A009.19085808112006@mac.sture.homeip.net>,4 > 	Paul Sture <paul.sture.nospam@hispeed.ch> writes:F > > In article <1163005546.986132.84710@i42g2000cwa.googlegroups.com>,  > >  etmsreec@yahoo.co.uk wrote: > > K > >> On that topic Bill, HP have put lots of effort into making VMS be able L > >> to take Unix code and compile/link/run on VMS.
