ok.... point taken .... I am perhaps not listening fully...
Just find it amazing that a program cannot be written that will run on two diffrent machines with an identical o/s....
How would i conceive/code an adpater ... shorely the adapter would need to be an indepently executable program, otherwise the adapter would need an adapter and so on?
or am i way of the mark here?
How would you go about coding for i.e a simple example a "calculator" that you could then install onto a similair machine knowing it will run ok? what languages/compilers/adapters would you use and how? or is this feat impossible a lost cause - how do microsoft ensure compatability with there products - (maybe i need to learn the O/s inside and out) -
if this was the case how come viruses are so widely spread??
