DP4 programs linked using the /c program type (see information on linking) can be converted to run on othere operating systems, provided they meet the following criteria:
The program must be linked with the correct DP4 root module (the /c option on the link batch files ensures this)
The program must not contain relocations. It will contain relocations if it refers to far data or functions
The program must not contain any calls that are specific to either the operating system that it was developed under, or to the hardware running the operating system (unless protected by testing os_number variable). Usually your program will either fail to link or contain relocations in these cases, so it is unlikely a program that can be converted will have problems.
The full syntax of all the conversion utilities is given on the following pages, together with an example of each kind of conversion.
The following utilities are described:
