C compiler compatibility HPUX to SCO

[Dee_3]

If I compile a program in C on HPUX can I run the executable on SCO?

Dee,

If you write a C program in HP-UX that conforms to the POSIX standards, then you should be able to compile that program on your SCO system with a reasonable amount of effort.

Unfortunately, you cannot run the same binary executable on HP-UX and SCO -- they are NOT binary compatible.

I hope this helps.

Thanks for the information - we thought as much but thought it couldn't hurt to ask!....
