Subject: OSF/1 version 1.3 and REEL software

My name is Julie Grant. I work for SCH Technoloiges in Cincinnat, Ohio.
SCH distributes the REEL Manager software products that include
REELbackup and REELlibrarian.
I have a customer interersted in REELbackup. He has a DEC 3000 running
OSF/1 version 1.2. REELbackup is ported to OSF/1 version 1.3 and Digital
Unix 3.2.
The purpose of this email is to try and receive more information on the
differences in OSF/1 version 1.2 and OSF/1 versoin 1.3. I am trying to
determine if our software ported to OSF/1 version 1.3 would be
downwardly compatible to support OSF/1 version 1.2.
Any input or information would be greatly appreciated.
I can be reached at [email protected].
Thank you,
Julie

I've included a brief synopsis of what was included in the osf/1 v 1.2 and
v 1.3 releases. Without details concerning the nature of your application
it is hard to say whether or not it is downwardly compatible. v1.3 provided
taso
support for aid in porting 32 applications to the 64 bit Alpha platform. If
your app was ported in this manner, there is a chance that it might not work
any longer due to pointer problems.
Please also not that OSF/1 is now called Digital Unix, and its current version
v4.0b.
V1.2 (Silver) - shipped March 15, 1993
The first fully functional OSF/1 release from Digital. It supported the new
Alpha
Systems (DEC
3000, 4000, 7000 and 10000). A 64 bit operating system based on OSF/1 V1.0 and
V1.1. It
includes MOTIF V1.1.3, and support all the major UNIX standards. It includes
Real
Time
support, full ONC, a logical volume manager, prestoserve, a habitat mechanism to
support
System V and ULTRIX compatibility, and a complete development environment
(Developers
Extensions). It included shared libraries, Threads, Open SCSI, and LAT.
