Hi,
Maybe you guys already seen this, and it's old news for you... but i'll post this anyway in case you didn't know. It can be a good thing to learn from.
I do not own a SUN or a HP-UX system. But I was just interested how microsoft implemented IE 4 / IE 5 on HP-UX and SUN. So I extracted their installation files to disk. It seems that microsoft made their own version of wine. It's amazing that they didn't modified IE to run on unix. Instead they made the choice to emulate all the windows functionality. And compile IE on that. Microsoft is ready to run their applications on linux. They have a complete "system" libary full of ported functionality to SUN and HP-UX... all the libaries are there, libkernel32.so etc.... It's also nice to see how they seperated the resources from the binaries. and let the kernel deal with these resource files.
Has any one of you looked into these system libaries? Is this information relevant to anyone?
bye,
Sander Wichers
