As long as you avoid O/S specific functions (executing SH commands specific
to one Unix flavour for example) you should be fine.
UniVerse BASIC is an interpretive runtime environment and BASIC object
code is in fact metacode not O/S executable.
The only items that throw up differences are
We sell our application both on UNIX and windows and have not changed the
code to run the application.
Performance does differ and Unix is not necessarily the fastest. Areas such
as Select performance can differ. You may have to fine tune some of the
parameters, such as with HP-UX if I remember

I don't have a nice clean technical answer to this. But I can share with
you anecdotal information:
PRC offers delivery of object or delivery of source with a trigger on the
'destination' to recompile delivered programs.
No one ever believes in delivered object code across even two identical

UniVerse compatibility can be determined by knowing the machine class. If
the machine classification is the same then the object code will be
compatible. Unless the actual run machine has changed, then object code
should remain upwardly compatible.
The object code gets compile-time information
