My most previous job developed in MicroFocus on the PC and the code had
to be portable to everything from MVS/VSE/IMS , iSeries, 5 flavors of
UNIX, Linux, and even some Dec VMS. (They dropped UnisysA about 18
months ago) So we really cared about portability from the VP level
down. There were a number of MicroFocus extensions that we would have
loved to use but couldn't because of the other platforms.
