As I have started to do some Linux work, I am now wondering ......
Can the data and designer files be moved between different Operating Systems, and still function properly?
Yes. I do so at least once a week.
Quote:Can the Sesame Server be a host to multiple Operating Systems, at the same time?
Yes. Doing so as we speak.
Quote:I suspect the answer is YES, they are transportable, but wanted to get a solid confirmation.
I suspect the major precaution will be the use of any paths in the programming. Should use variables from the system vs. hard coded. And @Shell and File I/O commands should use IF functions based on the OS to call routines outside of Sesame.
In Sesame 2.0, you should use a #define for the path separator. In 1.1.x - use a variable. That way you only have to check when you set the value, not every time you use a path. In every case, try to omit the drive specifier from DOS, a leftover from when MS when "borrowing" from CP/M instead of "borrowing" from Unix.
Quote:Would it be useful for a thread for development to support both environments? Hmmm .... probably not, maybe not enough traffic for that as a separate topic......
