Abstract

The areas in which programs are most unlikely to be portable are discussed. Attention is paid to programming languages, operating systems, file systems, I/O device characteristics, machine architecture and documentation. Pitfalls are indicated and in some cases solutions are suggested. Copyright © 1978 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
