Migrating to Linux

[Frank Demont]

Mine client has the intention to move to linux, so :

Only standard classes are available in linux , which calsses are that ?

Important : is the printer class available with duplex printing?

Will it work or is it tested with CUPS (common unix printing system) .

I asked it because i have bad experience wirh winprn32.prg in xharbour , and i suppose that the windows api may give the troubles .

We have not tested it, but we assume it may be available in Linux too.

It uses libgnomeprint for printing, and as far as I know it is based on CUPS.

Frank;

Is your customer migrating the server or the workstations?

If it is only the server, no changes needed. Just run samba on the server. Windows workstations will see it as a windows nt server. Only it works better and faster.

For now the server is linux with samba , but he hopes to move also the workstations to linux

Frank;

You know, you could always try wine. I mean the wine project. I hear it works quite well. I'd suppose that the only other option we have left is porting the application, which should envolve some extra work.

Please let me know how it goes. ok?
