Fortran language programs are inherently UNIXcentric with little migration support for NT. In addition, it should be ascertained whether current infrastructure. For example, the NT 4.0 browsing service can increase network traffic. The lack of consistent, interoperable HP VISUALIZE WORKSTATIONS 2 - HP Visualize J5000 | hp visualize workstation - Migrating UNIX Technical Environ - Page 4
WIN32 access for performance. UNIX Shell scripts can be migrated with the help of such products as MKS Toolkit, Hamilton C Shell (from 02/04/00 HP VISUALIZE WORKSTATIONS 3 - HP Visualize J5000 | hp visualize workstation - Migrating UNIX Technical Environ - Page 5
environment retains and transfers the required technical data. For example, by default, HP-UX uses a byte ordering known as big endian and Windows NT uses byte ordering known as little endian. This issue can be addressed in HP-UX applications by using the "swab" routine to adjust the byte ordering - HP Visualize J5000 | hp visualize workstation - Migrating UNIX Technical Environ - Page 6
