AIX to SCO Unix

[paulywog]

Excuse my ignorance on this, but if we have an AIX box and want to run the same application on a UNIX box, is that something that is easy to do? I don't know enough about AIX and UNIX to know the quick answer.

Thanks.

Hi, yes you can, but do you need check the senetences because maybe there are different between some inStruccions on SCO nad AIX, into your program.

If thee program is a compiled program, it will NOT run unless it is recompiled for the Power architecture. From there, it will need to be tested. This will not be an easy conversion. I would plan several weeks or months (or even years) depending on the application.

If it is a shell script, it will most likely need some modification.

If it is a Perl script, you will need very few (if any) changes.
