No. The _source_ code is generally compatible, but binaries are not generally
compatible across platforms for any OS. You have to compile it on each
platform.

LINUX is free and runs on SPARC.
The bonus is that it also runs on INTEL, MAC and others.
I don't have the resources but...... if I had a binary compiled to run on
SPARC/LINUX would the same binary run on INTEL/LINUX ?

I strongly sispect that this is a mone$ issue. My geuss is
that Foxboro has an
unlimited binry re-distribution license for Solaris 2.6, and
Sun won'ts $$ to
allow them to redistribute newer versions.
Interestingly enough the HP-UX licenseing position is,
ownership of a mcahine
implies the right to run base OS binaries. How you get them
(media) is another
issue. So I would think an OEM using HP-UX would not have
the problem. Anyone
with ABB systems care to comment on this?
