Hi, Portability focuses on *adaptation of software* in various OS, by recompiling the source to make the binary compatible with the target OS and not necessarily modifying the source. If the source code strictly follows POSIX standard less likely one end up modifying it.
Platform independence focuses on *ability of software* to run on VIRTUAL hardware that inturn interfaces with the PHYSICAL hardware. Examples of cross-platform or platform independent languages are Java etc. * * Regards, KARTHIKEYAN.V.B PSG TECH COIMBATORE. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Algorithm Geeks" group.
