Hi,

I need to call a Win32file (can be an Exe and a dll) from a Unix Shell.I am currently using HP-Ux.I need to get the results back to the calling Unix Shell for furthur processing. Is there a an Implementation way to do this from Unix without installing Exceed or CYGWin or any such tools.

Let me know at the earliest

Thanks

I believe WINE works on HP-UX, though I can't say I've tried building it there.

I don't think I follow you. You want to install windows software on your HP-UX installation and run it from the command line? Or do you want to do a remote call to a windows OS host?

There is no WINE for HP-UX, as WINE requires kernel level threads and are dependant on the X86 instruction set. There might be a way to get it to work on HP-UX running on Itaniums, but you'd have to recompile against winlib yourself (yikes!).

In short, if you're trying to run the win32 code on the HP-UX box, I don't think it can be done simply, and this is probably the wrong place to ask.
