Thus I also work with OpenVMS. My experience is, that there is little software that is really portable. I mean, it runs not only on Linux/Unix but also on OpenVMS, Windows, Mac ...<br> For GUI purposes I use Qt <a href="http://www.trolltech.com" > http://www.trolltech.com </a> which is really portable.<br> But for the low level there seems to be nothing (Sockets, Mailboxes, Pipes, Threads, Fifos, Shared Memory, Time, ...).<br> As addon to my project <a href="http://pvbrowser.org" > http://pvbrowser.org </a> I have tried to develop such a library <a href="http://pvbrowser.sourceforge.net/manual/rllib/" > http://pvbrowser.sourceforge.net/manual/rllib/ </a> .<br> <p> <p> <li>currently it is only for internal use <li>it is written in C/C++ <li>some people miss the use of STL <li>just look to the doxygen docu (the source is included) <li>the library is just meant as a base for discussion <li>the licensing is not clear jet (may be LGPL) <br><br> What I'am searching for, are people who are interested in portable programming. Who would be willing to cooperate in creating a real portable library for low level functions in C/C++ ? If such a library already exists, please tell me ?
