Differences Between PC and HP-UX
Platforms
There are several differences in using VEE on a PC and using VEE on
HP-UX.
Programs
All VEE features can be used in programs on all platforms. However, if the
object is dependent on the operating system, it will only execute on that
operating system. You can allow for these differences when porting
programs by using the
System Information objects in the Function &
Object Broswer
box: whichOS() or whichPlatform(). They output
the operating system (OS) or platform so that the program can detect
whether to use an "OS-dependent" object. The “OS-dependent” objects have
PC or UNIX after the object name in the menu.
Named Pipes and ActiveX Capabilities
The To/From Named Pipe (UNIX) object and ActiveX Automation
on PCs accomplish the same task of communicating with another program or
application on their respective operating systems.
Rocky Mountain Basic
The Initialize Rocky Mountain Basic (UNIX) and To/From
Rocky Mountain Basic (UNIX)
are only designed to work with Rocky
Mountain Basic on HP-UX.
The Execute Program Objects
The Execute Program object has two versions: one for HP-UX, one for
the PC. Both are used for launching other programs or applications.
