Example: Multiplatform Environment

Company B develops video games for the Solaris operating environment. A developer decided to port Company B's code to the Solaris Intel Platform Edition operating environment. Company B purchased a Pentium computer and Sun Visual WorkShop C++. The developer installed Sun Visual WorkShop C++ locally on an x86 machine, added license passwords to the existing SPARC license server delight, and was ready to recompile. Figure 1-3 illustrates Company B's network.
