Poor portability program

Hi,

Is there any simple way to code a "poor portability" program? A simple example would be very helpful.

Someone did suggest that use mlib or pstat. But I need a sample program.

Thanks,

What do you mean by poor portability?

Re: Poor portability program

Which means a program is hard to compile on the other platform (eq, cause a lot of code change, make file, etc.)

Re: Poor portability program

Probably the easiest way to find non-portable examples is to read section 2 man pages (at the bottom of each page) looking for 'developed by HP' and no other standards mentioned or manufacturers mentioned. Also, coding kernel entry points such as might be used with adb is a good way to keep programs from working on other systems.
