 SH> Hi everyone,

 SH> How hard is it to convert Linux programs to OS/2 programs using GCC?

EMX version of GCC has been around a while.

I believe there is now another version also in play in the OS/2 environment.

See German File Distribution (GFD) network or the old FernWood OS/2 file bone 
areas in the zone 1 file bone for several examples.

 SH> I am sharing an APC UPS (BackUPS XS 1500) between two computers.  One is
 SH> Linux (Fedora Core 4) and this one is eComStation 1.15.

 SH> On the Linux box, I am running apcupsd to manage UPS events.  This is
 SH> network capable, and looks like it would work (if I can figure out how
 SH> to port it over to OS/2) to manage both machines.

I think there is even a UPS program that has been ported.

 SH> Am I being realistic in thinking this could work, or should I give up
 SH> and hope that no power outage long enough to run the batteries down
 SH> occurs while I am away from the machines?


 SH> Regards,

 SH> Stephen

Take care.....
