Differences Between PC and HP-UX Platforms
To/From Stdout, Stderr (UNIX)
Although these objects do work on a PC, they are implemented with files
and are not recommended for general programming. You should only use
them when porting a VEE program from an HP-UX platform to the PC.
Fonts and Screen Resolutions
VEE on a PC chooses a font size that looks good with the screen resolution.
Use the
File ⇒ Default Preferences dialog box to change the look
and feel of programs. Use the
Properties selection in the object menus to
customize individual objects. If necessary, VEE will translate the font saved
in the program to one available on the destination machine. For best results,
you may want to build the program on a computer with a screen resolution
and font set similarly to the destination machine. When porting programs,
make sure the screen resolutions are similar to avoid problems. See
fonts,
using
in the online Help Index for more information.
Data Files
ASCII data files constructed with the To File object should be readable
with the
From File object on either the HP-UX or the Windows platform.
No binary files will work across platforms, since the byte ordering is
reversed between HP-UX and Windows.
