UNIX, LINUX And UNIX Variants: Notes

UNIX, Linux, and UNIX variants are not fully-functional Windows platforms; therefore, any UNIX implementation is not considered to be RP 1210-compliant.

Since UNIX is a case-sensitive system, all RP 1210 files (main INI, vendor INI, and SO), along with directory names, will be in all lower case letters. The DOS FAT file naming convention will also apply (file names with eight characters in front of the period and three characters after the period).

Each VDA vendor will provide an installation script or program. If the installation is an executable file, there are no constraints. If the installation is a script, or calls a script file, the script will be written to the most commonly found scripting language on each system, the Bourne Shell (/bin/sh).
