Hi. If you are interested in Linux programming (that is, Unix programming in the end), the first step is, i think, C/gcc/Unix programming. It might be easier for you to start with pascal, because you are already familiar with, but i have no experience on Unix programming with Pascal. Bottomline for Unix programming is, i think, C.
Now, about portability. If you decide to go for Unix-programming, there are are implementations of gcc (Cygnus, RSX, EMX[OS2],DJGPP), to make porting easier from Unix to Windows/DOS. However, i don't think porting will be very easy this way, due to the fundamental differences of Unix/Windows/DOS. If you are interested in such ports, ask (i can tell you about DJGPP(DOS) and RSX(Windows)/ others should answer you about Cygnus(Win95/NT)) Nikos -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
