Abstract
Running programs on different platforms without any changes is an old goal in computer science. On the whole for formulating algorithms the developement of programming languages has solved the problem sufficiently, and most programmers need not to know the instruction set of the processor on which their programms are running. Despite these advances large software systems are frequently not platform independent and some effort is necessary for porting these systems to other platforms. The incompatibilities are not resolved by programming languages, because they are induced by different concepts for organizing programs and data by the operating system. Generally programming languages treat internal objects known to the program and have no statements affecting the environment - exept some statements for input and output.
