Hello, The following extract is from the online help in Rose 2002 Release 2, it applies to previous versions as well.
Creating Portable Add-Ins ========================== To create add-ins that will be portable to other platforms, keep the following recommendations in mind: � Keep the logic of the integration in Rose Script � Keep dialogs and graphical user interfaces (GUIs) in Rose Script � Import and export through ASCII files � Do not use COM calls-write shell-accessible commands � Test the operating system with the BasicScript object (for example, Basic.OS) � Use path map variables UNIX Versus Windows for Add-Ins =============================== If you are developing add-ins for UNIX, you will run into the following differences: Windows UNIX GUI painter and capture GUI painter and capture Custom dialogs Custom dialogs API through COM MainWin-MainSoft Technology Rose as COM client MainWin-MainSoft Technology ODBC functions none GUI drivers (for example, Send Keys) n/a ------------ If you use to the extensibility that ships out-of the box in Rose Unix, you can develop an add-in using Rose script. Note that Rose script comes with with its own dialog editor (Try Edit->Insert Dialog while a script is open with Tools->Open script).

Note it isn't a model I'm trying to use between Windows & UNIX, its some rose extensions written in VB. You see, as far as I can tell, Rose for UNIX has been ported over using some sort of windows porting tool. I've been wondering if I can use the same tools to port over my extensions.
