Unix Questions

[winwin]

Dear,
As far as I know that Unix system is not supporting the both DLL and
Active X control concepts are not work in UNIX system. Is there any
programming language can be running on Unix System such as Java SDK?
Thanks and regards,
Winwin

This is pretty odd question because all running operating systems need
compilers to make binaries.

Most systems come equipped with some kind of developing tools. If
not then gcc (Gnu compiler collection) can be installed on most platform.
gcc supports c, c++, ada, objective-c and java. Java is available on most
platforms too. See [url]http://java.sun.com[/url] for more details.

Compilers for fortran, pascal, eiffel, lisp, prolog, perl, python, tcl/tk
and others are also available - many of them free of charge.

The concepts are supported on Unix, just not those particular
proprietary implementations of the concepts (AFAIK). Unix systems in
general support both dynamically linked libraries and statically linked
libraries. Complex widget sets are available for inclusion in
applications. IDEs exist that allow drag & drop of widgets onto
application forms.

On some Unix or Unix-like systems I believe you can run Win32 DLLs and
Applications that use Win32 ActiveX controls by using Windows
emulators/translators such as WINE on Linux.

Then there's vmware.

There are many.

In general yes, but you'll need to specify which Unix system you are
talking about. I suspect Java may not be readily available for some very
old or very specialist versions of Unix and Unix-like operating systems.

These are both Windows Security Problems (I mean, "features").

Java was invented by Sun, yes. What are you trying to do?

Shared libraries has been around in un*x since at least 1988. Gates came
to cl it dll.

The automated trojan installation tool called active-x is not implemented due
to security reasons. Noone in the un*x workd is stupid enough ( yet )

Java works all right in un*x
