Running MS Windows Apps on QNX

I currently have some Win 16 and Win 32 apps and have received a request
for QNX support, can any one tell me just what will be required to port
these to the QNX system. There appears to be a lack of information
floating about (or I’m looking in the wrong spots) and I would like to
determine the viability of the project.

I have seen info stating that QNX does provide a subset of WIn 32 API
but there was no indication of what API calls have been emulated. Also
my apps can utilise the MSDLC network protocol so any ideas if this is
supported ?

If any one can provide links or information it would be most
appreciated.


TIA

Are you talking about QNX4 or Neutrino?

In either case there is currently no solution for porting
Win application to QNX (in some way aside from GUI
app) it wouldn’t make sense anyway :wink:

I’v heard of some company that makes library to help porting
but I don’t beleive anyone of them support QNX4 or NTO.

QSSL were looking at supporting a win32 API, it went to beta NDA release. I  cannot remember the name, they were bought by one of the BIOS manf. (phoenix I think) and a subsequent "warning" from MS killed the idea.
