Hello Has anybody had any experience port some applications (real-time) from HP/UX over to DEC UNIX? Are there any gotchas to look out for upfront? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

(1) What version of OSes , for example HP-UX 9.0 to Dec UNIX 4 ?
(2) If the software written using POSIX or generic UNIX codes or using proprietary extension ?
(3) Did it use HP-UX real-time features ( which is obsoleted already ) ?
(4) How about GUI, Motif or something else.
(5) More questions. Depending on these, porting difficulty could be ranging from "a piece of cake" to "better rewrite from scratch". Ming-Ching
