Well,
I have taken the advice of David Fanning and others regarding to the
difference of Widget between IDL and PV-Wave. As a result, I have to
code our program (including Widget) in PV-Wave rather than IDL. I am
more familiar with IDL.
I have now two choices, one is to purchase PV-Wave for NT, the
other is to purchase PV-Wave for HP-Unix. I would prefer to use
PV-Wave on NT since most of my data and other codes are on NT. However,
since the final code will be run on an HP-Unix, I wonder if there are
any major platform dependencies in Widget for PV-Wave. Would my codes
written in PV-wave on NT run flawflessly on PV-wave on HP-Unix?
Most of my codes are simulations with GUI written in Widget, there are
no system calls or I/O stuff. Can anyone help me on choosing which
platform?
Thanks
Jun Tan

It *should* if you use the "Ww layer" for widget programming. "Wt" widgets
are not guaranteed to work on both Windows and Unix. However, your widgets
will still look different because of the inherent difference between Motif
and Windows widgets.
